In many countries worldwide, measures have been taken in floodplains for flood prevention and nature rehabilitation.In the Netherlands, floodplains are lowered by excavating to enlarge the discharge capacity and to create opportunities for development of river habitats such as forest.As forest can obstruct the water flow through the floodplain, the

Stone artifacts are often the Armored Vehicle most abundant class of objects found in archaeological sites but their consistent identification is limited by the number of experienced analysts available.We report a machine learning based technology for stone artifact identification as part of a solution to the lack of such experts directed at distin

The emergence of intelligent connected vehicles (ICVs) is expected to contribute to resolving traffic congestion and safety problems; however, it is inevitable that ICV safety issues in mixed traffic (involving ICVs and human driven vehicles) will be a critical challenge.The numerical simulation of scenarios involving a mix of different driving pro
