In grote steden met veel hoogbouw verdwaal je makkelijk doordat gps niet altijd vlekkeloos werkt. Door satellieten te vervangen voor een speciaal mobiel netwerk is de weg kwijtraken bijna niet meer mogelijk Read more 30 November 2022 Research from TU Delft in the Rijksmuseum A smart alternative to the traditional sandbag and an experiment with clay to learn more about strengthening dikes. These are two examples of TU Delft research that is currently being exhibited as art at the Rijksmuseum. Read more ... Page 11 Page 12 Page 13 You are on page 14 Page 15 Page 16 ...
