Technology &amp; Cybernetic Ergonomics<\/p><p><strong>About me: <\/strong><\/p><p>I graduated from Delft University of Technology in 1983 with a degree in Mechanical Engineering - Measurement and Control Technology &amp; Cybernetic Ergonomics. During my first job, at TNO, I noticed that automation in the process industry had advanced so far that control room situations were 99% boredom and 1% panic.<\/p><p>The interplay of systems, people and procedures often has a significant impact on safety and performance - whether in a production company, a traffic regulation system or a tunnel. So my endless fascination for this topic was sparked; since then, I have been able to acquire knowledge and experience with which systems and operational organizations can be designed and tested.<\/p><p>After TNO, I worked for the NS engineering office. There, as project component leader for VPT process management, I worked on a very large automation project and, as a strategic advisor, on the renovation of rail safety (BB21).<\/p><p>In 1997 I joined what was then called NS Traffic Management to supervise this type of large development. In practice, I often had a bridging function as a process manager - with a bridgehead in technology and a bridgehead in the world of the organisations that were to use the systems operationally (system users\/operators, maintenance personnel, situation-responders and fire departments).<\/p><p>Over the course of time, I came to the conclusion that I could fill this role best as an independent advisor. And that is what happened in January 2000.<\/p><p>Working for the high-speed rail line \"Zuid\" was exceptionally educational and unique. There, I was responsible for the operational embedding of the entire project: from the moment of contracting up to supporting the infrastructure provider in the detail of the specifications.<\/p><p>Then I oversaw the operational testing with all the parties involved, including Infrabel.<\/p><p>Finally, I managed the transport system's robustness through the pilot operation. Only now do I realise how special it was to have been able to work on all of this over the course of 10 years. The euphoria and the frustrations, ministers coming and going, deadlines met or otherwise, the alarming newspaper headlines, the milestones celebrated, the very hard work, pioneering in this large DBFM contract and the great solidarity in the project team.<\/p><p>Outside my work I have always painted, mainly abstract landscapes. From 1990-1992 I worked part-time and could paint intensively in my studio. I also held exhibitions then. That period taught me that I am truly a people person and not suited to the loneliness of the artist's life.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":212,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-348","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/attica.nu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/348","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/attica.nu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/attica.nu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/attica.nu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/attica.nu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=348"}],"version-history":[{"count":7,"href":"https:\/\/attica.nu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/348\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":433,"href":"https:\/\/attica.nu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/348\/revisions\/433"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/attica.nu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/212"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/attica.nu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=348"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
