EngD Position: Developing Multi-Sensory Positioning System for Pavement Equipment
4 weken geleden
The Challenge
The construction industry in the Netherlands is facing a significant challenge in extending warranty periods for asphalt roads. This has led to a push for better road quality, driving the need for innovative solutions. The ASPARi research unit, along with 10 contractors and Rijkswaterstaat, is working towards developing technology-driven solutions for monitoring and enhancing asphalt construction. A major obstacle is the reliance on GPS, which has limitations in urban areas, tunnels, and wooded regions.
The Mission
The project's mission is to develop a sensor fusion method for accurate real-time positioning of paving equipment. The goal is to achieve consistent accuracy without RTK bridge assistance, minimal sensitivity to site conditions, and near-real-time positioning.
The Outcome
The project aims to create a working prototype that improves the accuracy, reliability, and robustness of the real-time paving monitoring system. This enhancement will lead to better road quality, reduced material usage, and improved productivity.
Your Profile
- We are seeking MSc graduates with a background in sensor fusion, positioning systems, and/or computer vision.
- Knowledge of real-time systems and operator support systems is advantageous.
- Strong Dutch and English language skills, communication, teamwork, initiative, and problem-solving are essential.
- Prior knowledge in road design and construction is beneficial.
Our Offer
- We offer a challenging position within a multidisciplinary and international environment.
- A salary of €2618 gross per month.
- A holiday allowance of 8% of the gross annual salary and a year-end bonus of 8.3%.
- A solid pension scheme.
- A minimum of 29 holidays in case of full-time employment.
- A tailor-made post-master design program that includes an educational component and a design project.
- Upon completion of the program, you will receive a certified degree and be entitled to use the academic degree EngD and be registered as a Technological Designer in the Dutch register kept by the Royal Institution of Engineers in the Netherlands (KIVI).
