2014 - 2015

Arriva Nederland

Intern

Tijdens deze studieperiode heeft Pascal meerdere opdrachten uitgevoerd voor Arriva Nederland. Gedurende de eerste zes maanden is onderzoek gedaan naar hoe Arriva haar informatievoorziening kon verbeteren m.b.t. sociale veiligheidsincidenten (intern). De implementatie van het informatie-analyse systeem 'Duurzaam Verbinden' stond hierin centraal.

Met dit systeem krijgen vervoersbedrijven, politie en overheid beter inzicht in de veiligheid binnen en buiten voertuigen en rondom stations/haltes. Het doel van de (stage)opdracht was het vaststellen van gebruikerswensen en deze overleggen met de softwareontwikkelaar. Het tweede doel van het onderzoek was het adviseren over kwaliteitsverbetering van data over sociale veiligheidsincidenten. Meer informatie over Duurzaam Verbinden is te vinden op: Duurzaamverinden.nl

Tijdens de tweede periode heeft Pascal een afstudeeronderzoek gedaan naar de wijze waarop ICT kan helpen bij het professionaliseren van de meldkamer/verkeersleiding van Arriva. Hieruit volgde een advies, waarin aanbevelingen stonden voor het verbeteren van de te gebruiken software. Nieuwe functionaliteit stond hierin centraal.

“Pascal and I worked together in the Eventpoint project. In a very short time, Pascal has reviewed the project's backlog and improved, divided and clarified the stories. As a developer, I believe that Pascal's input ensured that the scrum/devops principles were better applied in the project. The way in which Pascal communicates is so pleasant that you know he really listens to you. This translated into the way he refined the userstories on the backlog.”
