The main reason? Their deep know-how and advanced technolo- gies have, in past decades, extensively proven their worth in numerous of sporting events the world over. The Belgian Sports Technology Club groups these strong players into a tight network that firmly puts Belgium-based know-how in sports technologies on the world stage. Piet Moons For local Organizing Committees, stadium & venue managers or local government infrastructure projects for international sporting events, it is essential to get a clear view of the most advanced technologies available. Likewise, Belgian-based suppliers and (sub)contractors need to optimally present their know-how which could allow them to con- duce to the success of such a large-scale event. The Belgian Sports Peter Demuynck Technology Club aims to bring these two sides together in order to facilitate international business. Why the Belgian Sports Technology Club is a unique player The member companies of the Belgian Sports Technology Club cover a wide range of activities: from construction and sports equipment over hospitality solutions to media technology, and access control & security. The Club offers the benefits of a close Contact partnership between a technology industry federation and a Dimitri Huygen National Olympic Committee that is unique in the world.

Paul Anderson – International Sports Consultant” for Barco www.sportstechnology.be 5 611997:BOIC boekje 26-07-2010 14:08 Pagina 6 Belgian Olympic and Interfederal Committee (BOIC) The Belgian Olympic and Interfederal Committee (BOIC) is very pleased for having developed a dynamic partnership with Agoria and the industrial world of our country so as to characterize the members of the Belgian Sports Technology Club by organising committees of great national, but essentially international, sports events. There are yet now excellent examples of Belgian societies who have given an extra value to the organising committees of the past Olympic Games such as for instance Sydney, Athens, Turin, Vancouver and Beijing. On the basis of their technological know- how and the price-quality proportion, many of these companies have all the trumps in their hands to be even as successful in their services to the organisers of the coming Olympic Games or other great world sports events. Technology in sport has become so important for the Olympic athletes that National Olympic Committees (NOCs), such as the BOIC, mostly appreciate the efforts of these societies in the field of research, production and management. ”Together to the top” is a goal we want, from within the BOIC, to pursue- fully so as to allow our athletes and our societies to score with brilliant results during the coming Olympic Games and World championships. ”You never win alone”, this adagio is also of application for the Belgian Sports Technology Club. Together with the governmental authorities, the regions, the federations, and their members, the BOIC wants to go for the result we all seek after : quality in performance. 6 www.sportstechnology.be 611997:BOIC boekje 26-07-2010 14:08 Pagina 7 ACCESS CONTROL Do you know our Access Control members ? - Managed operations of IT during Olympic Games of Athens, Beijing and London - Supplied equipment for pedestrians and vehicles at Olympic Games in Sydney - Printed and concepted 8 million tickets for Olympic Games in Athens, 1,2 million European Championship Soccer in Belgium - The Netherlands in 2000 - Developed the security system of the Olympic Games in Athens in 2004 and European Parliament in Strasbourg, Brussels and Luxembourg - Offered a biometric access control system during the World Series by Renault in 2006 ACCESS CONTROL www.sportstechnology.be 7 611997:BOIC boekje 26-07-2010 14:08 Pagina 8 Automatic Systems Products/services www.automatic-systems.com Access control equipment for pedestrians and vehicles References in the world of international sports events Contact 1992 John De Winter - Olympic Stadium Expo ’92 - Isla de la Cartuja - Sevilla - Spain: General Manager tripod turnstiles and rising barriers [email protected] - Football Club - Barcelona tel. +32 10 23 02 13 - Football Club Groningen - Groningen - The Netherlands - Football Club - Benfica Annual turnover - Olympic Stadia COOB ’92 - Barcelona - Spain: rising barriers 50 million € (2008) 1996 - Football stadia of Enugu & Calabar ñ Nigeria: full-height turn- Workforce stiles 1998 280 employees - Olympic Games - Sydney - Australia: automatic gates -

Twee onderwerpen domineerden in 2002 het debat over de rol en het functioneren van de media. De groeiende invloed van de media op politieke, maatschappelijke en culturele gebeurtenissen leidde tot een hernieuwde discussie over de publieke verantwoordelijkheid die media behoren te dragen, de onafhankelijkheid die de media dienen te betuigen en de verantwoording die media meer nog dan andere sectoren dienen af te leggen over hun werk. Binnen het functioneren van de mediasector als geheel stond de positie van de publieke omroep ter discussie. Vooral commerciële informatieaanbieders uitten kritiek op de wijze waarop de overheid het publieke domein in de informatievoorziening vormgeeft. Overdadige publieke financiering en steun en een te brede taakopdracht van de publieke omroep zou tot verstoring leiden van de ontwikkeling van de commerciële media, zowel elektronisch als bij print. Het is niet vreemd dat juist het afgelopen jaar het functioneren van de media zo in het brandpunt van de aandacht stond. Grote gebeurtenissen rond het koninklijk huis, internationale spanning in Afghanistan en in de aanloop naar de oorlog tegen Irak, de verwerking van het Sebrenica trauma, politieke instabiliteit, de schok van de moord op Fortuyn en het moeizame optreden van het nieuwe kabinet, waren stuk voor stuk tevens media events.

    Average speed prediction using Artificial Neural Networks Cynthia Jacobs Delft University of Technology Faculty of Information Technology and Systems August 2003 Graduation Committee: drs. dr. L.J.M.Rothkrantz prof. dr. ir. E.J.H. Kerckhoffs prof. dr. H. Koppelaar Jacobs, Cynthia Master thesis, August 2003 Average speed prediction using Artificial Neural Networks Delft University of Technology, The Netherlands Faculty of Information Technology and Systems Data and Knowledge Engineering Group Acknowledgements First of all, I would like to thank Leon Rothkrantz for his feedback, comments and advice during the project. I have really enjoyed interesting discussions about travel time and average speed prediction and many other non-relating topics. Furthermore I would like to express my gratitude towards Pascal Wiggers for the conversations leading to new ideas, the constructive criticism on my report and his friendship. I also want to thank my friends Frans Flippo, Michiel Konstapel and Otto Visser for making most of my time at the university very enjoyable. And at last I would like to thank my parents, my sister and especially Lars van Leeuwen for their moral support and more. Cynthia Jacobs Delft, August 2003 Abstract Nowadays cars have navigation systems guiding the traveler from departure to destination. The navigation system uses route planners to determine the best route for the traveler. However these route planners do not use dynamic traffic information to decide what route is best. These route planners use the maximum speed allowed on a road to determine the travel time. So it is possible that the traveler is guided over congested routes while another route will lead the traveler faster to its destination.
