CARIN en GPS: De combinatie van dead-reckoning, map-matching en satellietplaatsbepaling in een hybride autonavigatiesysteem
No full textDe laatste jaren doen zich verscheidene ontwikkelingen voor in de autonavigatie. Eén van de ontwikkelingen wordt gevormd door het geïntegreerd gebruik van meerdere, elkaar aanvullende, positiesensoren in één hybride navigatiesysteem. Het CARIN autonavigatiesysteem van PHILIPS is gebaseerd op een combinatie van dead-reckoning (afgelegde afstand uit wielomwentelingen, richting van kompas) en map-matching (het intelligent gebruik van kaartinformatie, opgeslagen op CD). Aangezien het systeem, bijvoorbeeld bij gedeeltelijke afwezigheid van kaartinformatie, kan gaan driften, is het wenselijk een correctie te laten uitvoeren door een absolute positiesensor, zoals GPS. Dit onderzoek bestudeert de mogelijkheden en de haalbaarheid van een koppeling tussen CARIN en GPS aan de hand van een simulatiestudie. Daartoe werden diverse testritten uitgevoerd, waarbij GPS- en CARIN-waarnemingen m.b.v. tijdlabels ten opzichte van elkaar werden vastgelegd. Voor de daadwerkelijke koppeling werd een dynamisch model ontwikkeld , dat de gewogen oplossing bepaalt tussen de GPS en de CARIN positie-oplossing, op grond van hun foutenmodellen. Het blijkt dat GPS in bebouwde omgeving slecht functioneert, doordat afscherming van satellietsignalen optreedt. CARIN functioneert hier goed. Het aanvullende karakter van de twee systemen blijkt uit de omgekeerde situatie buiten het stedelijk gebied. Het dynamisch model weet de posities zo te combineren dat de nauwkeurigheid van de hybride oplossing in elke situatie groter is dan die van de systemen afzonderlijk.Civil Engineering and GeosciencesMathematische en fysische geodesi
The traffic safety of the Carin car information and navigation system IA-literature study: Main report
No full textReport of the Delft University of Technology, Department of Transportation Planning and Highway Engineering in assignment of Philips International B.V. Aim of the study was to determine the possible posi tive and negative effects on traffic safety of the Carin Car Information and Navigation system and to define requirements by which the possible negative effects are minimized or possibly eliminated and the possible positive effects are enhanced, thus making the overall effect of Carin on traffic safety a positive one. The Carin system has been analysed with the so-called phase model of the accident process. Possible positive effects that resulted from this analysis, are: avoidance of search behaviour, avoidance of detours, avoidance of unsafe locations and situa tions, and informa tion on the vehicle condition. Possible negative effects were: compact disc changing while driving, distraction by route guiding advices, untimely presentation of route guiding advices, obstruction of the driver's view, illegal route guiding advices, the reaction on a disregarding of a route guiding advice, and (part of) the system causing injuries in case of an accident. On an important part of the above subjects a literature study has been conducted. The findings are discussed and gaps in the present knowledge indicated. Priorities for further study are presented.Transport & PlanningCivil Engineering and Geoscience

Every Second Is a Life: Ulla-Carin Lindquist’s Rowing Without Oars
No full text© The Author(s) 2019. Ulla-Carin Lindquist’s Rowing Without Oars relates a life constrained by illness, in which one’s sense of “I am” becomes increasingly faint. She depicts how physical losses can inadvertently open opportunities to explore humanity’s “potential consciousness.” In seeking an answer to the question, “Who am I become to live well in this new world?” Lindquist demonstrates what it means to “become fully human, and everything that the person can become.” She captures this movement toward “potential consciousness” through simple, lyrical language and artfully constructed grammar and syntax that is devoid of deception
The traffic safety of the Carin car information and navigation system: Summary report
No full textReport of the Delft University of Technology, Department of Transportation Planning and Highway Engineering in assignment of Philips International B.V. The Carin Car Information and Navigation system has been analysed on its possible positive and negative effects on traffic safety. Requirements have been defined by which the possible negative effects should be minimized or possibly eliminated and the possible positive effects enhanced. Possible positive effects that resulted from this analysis are: avoidance of search behaviour, avoidance of detours, avoidance of unsafe locations and situations, and information on the vehicle condition. Possible negative effects were: compact disc changing while driving, distraction by route guiding advices, untimely presentation of route guiding advices, obstruction of the driver's view, illegal route guiding advices, the reaction on a disregarding of a route guiding advice, and (part of) the system causing injuries in case of an accident. On an important part of the above subjects a literature study has been conducted. The findings are discussed and gaps in the present knowledge indicated. The in-car presentation of route guiding advices may distract a driver from his tasks to keep course and to account for the other traffic and the traffic environment. A distraction by route guiding pictogrammes from the task to keep course can be avoided by selecting pictogrammes that require a shorter interpretation time than the available time period between two successive course corrections. In a laboratory study on the distraction from the task to account for the other traffic, it was found tha t deteriora tions mainly occurred in incident situations. The deteriorations are largest for stimuli from alocation right in front of the car, especially for elder drivers. Under circumstances all pictogrammes caused deteriorations. In difficuit situations complex pictogrammes cause more deteriorations than simple ones. Most sensitive to deteriorations are elderly drivers and young males when driving at high speeds.Transport & PlanningCivil Engineering and Geoscience

Fifth generation on Plofbos: The unintentional beauty of dealing with explosives!
No full textHembrug was back in the days responsible for the production and storage of weapons and ammunition for the Dutch army. The location has been chosen very carefully by the Stelling of Amsterdam and nowadays it is located between the two big growing cities Amsterdam and Zaandam. Because of is secrecy and abandoned, Hembrug can been seen as a new city! Through the time you can recognize different time layers of typologies on the terrain and it is now time to design the fifth generation of architecture on Hembrug. This will start with given the existing buildings new life with a function and to open up the buildings for public. Plofbos is one of the nine ensembles on Hembrug and is located in the middle heart of the terrain. The southern part is part of the production-zone, well the northern part of Plofbos belongs to the forest-zone. With his greenery environment and small scale buildings, Plofbos will be a new neighborhood of Hembrug with generation housing, and some supporting functions as well. A primary school and a community center are the design proposals for the fifth generation and will be characterized by new wooden entrances and their functions. The values of the typologies are different from each other; the Boerderijen have detailed monumental facades, well the shell roofs are formed by the spirit of place inside. This was also the design approach for the projects.HembrugArchitecture, Urbanism and Building Sciences | Heritage & Architectur
Språklig rytm i skönlitterär prosa. En fallstudie i Karin Boyes Kallocain
No full textSara Stymne, Department of Linguistics and Philology, Uppsala University Johan Svedjedal, Department of Literature, Uppsala University Carin Östman, Department of Scandinavian Languages, Uppsala University Linguistic Rhythm in Narrative Prose: the case of Karin Boye’s Kallocain (Språklig rytm i skönlitterär prosa. En fallstudie i Karin Boyes Kallocain) The concept of rhythm in prose is ambiguous, and there is no consensus on how to define it. In this work, we focus on linguistic rhythm, at word, sentence and paragraph levels. We adopt and slightly extend rhythm indicators used in previous research, and show that these can be calculated fully automatically, on a much larger scale than previously done. We adopt the Swedish poet and novelist Karin Boye’s (1900–41) novel Kallocain (1940), as a case study. It is an icily dystopian depiction of a totalitarian future, where the protagonist Leo Kall first embraces this system, but for various reasons later rebels against it. The peripety comes when he gives a public speech, questioning the State. It has been pointed out that the novel from precisely this point on is characterized by a much freer rhythm, and that Boye as an author had considerable interest in questions of linguistic rhythm. This paper sets out to test this hypothesis by applying sixteen indicators of linguistic rhythm in narrative prose (such as word length, sentence length, ratio of punctuation, etc.). We first note that we can expect differences between narrative and dialogue and limit most of our study to the first-person narrative. We find that there are significant differences mainly between phrase and word lengths in the parts before and after Leo Kall’s conversion. In a further investigation we note that there is also great variation among indicators within each part of the novel. We also show that machine learning can be used to differentiate small segments from each part of the novel, with higher accuracy than a random classifier. Finally, we undertake a small study of dialogue, which, however is mainly inconclusive. In summary we find some support for the claim that there is a rhythm break in Kallocain. We also believe that our study is important from a methodological point of view, since it provides a method for largescale studies of prose rhythm in the future
