The Impact of the Ring Roads on the Location Pattern of Shops in Town and City Centres: A Space Syntax Approach

This contribution demonstrates how inner ring roads change the location pattern of shops in urban areas with the application of the space syntax method. A market rational behaviour persists, in that shop owners always search for an optimal location to reach as many customers as possible. If the accessibility to this optimal location is affected...

Measuring the Degree of Permeability of the Main Route Network with Angular Step Depth Analyses

Inthiscontributionanewspacesyntaxanalysesmethodispresentedfor analysing the degree of permeability in the main route network of towns and cities. First, a presentation is given on the methodological development of the various approaches taken until the present day. Then, a description is given on how this new analysis method can be used to...

The impact of route guidance, departure time, and alternative routes on door-to-door travel time reliability: Two data-driven assessment methods

Conventional travel time reliability assessment has evolved from road segments to route level. However, a connection between origin and destination usually consists of multiple routes, thereby providing the option to choose. Having alternatives can compensate for deterioration of a single route, therefore this study assesses the reliability and...

Modelling travel time reliability in public transport route choice behaviour

The implementation of travel time reliability (TTR) in route choice behaviour is still not very common in transport models, especially not in a public transport context. The reasons probably are that it is difficult to measure and that there is no agreement how it best can be represented in utility functions. Typically, it is represented by a...
