Thermal remote sensing: the road to go to defien dynamic drought stress thresholds at field scale in grapevine Ghent University
Thermal remote sensing is the most promising technique for assessing the spatial variability of drought stress in grapevine. However, its application is hampered by technical and scientific challenges. In this project, thermal maps are acquired by equipping a helicopter drone is equipped with a thermal camera and a new method for estimating drought stress is developed

Sustainable Asphalt Pavements for heavy-loaded road constructions. University of Antwerp
Tyre/Road Noise due to Road Surface Texture Excitations - Experimental and Numerical Analyses KU Leuven
Tyre/road noise is the dominant noise source of vehicles travelling at speeds above 40 km/h. Hence, in urban environments, tyre/road noise is an important contributor to the overall environmental noise. Elevated environmental noise levels have several adverse effects on human well-being. Along with the increased social awareness of this issue the European Commission has put in place regulations aimed at restricting environmental noise levels. ...
Freight vOlumes transfer from Road to waterborne transport, using zero-EMission, Automated, Small and flexible vessel protoTypes Ghent University
FOREMAST R&I activities are structured along 4 ambition Pillars:
(P1) Selectable level of automation GNC architecture and interfaces and situational awareness model for interfacing GNC and sensory hardware and processing systems to efficiently solve the control problem unique to IWT. Combined with balanced human-autonomy collaboration (navigation, mooring, cargo handling, propulsion) and safety implications in mixed traffic ...
Development of a new road lighting concept KU Leuven
Road lighting aims to improve the driving conditions for motorized traffic when driving during the night. Road lighting improves visual performance, visual guidance, driver’s alertness, and visual comfort. In this way, it is an important factor to improve the safety of drivers, pedestrians, and cyclists. However, the activation of artificial road lighting contributes to the overall electrical energy consumption. With policies to reduce energy ...
