Scenarios about development and implications of automated vehicles in the Netherlands

Automated driving technology is emerging. Yet, less is known about when automated vehicles will hit the market, how penetration rates will evolve and to what extent this new transportation technology will affect transportation demand and planning. This study identified through scenario analysis plausible future development paths of automated...

KBA en fietsen

Fietsen wint in steeds meer landen aan populariteit. Beleidsopties voor transportinfrastructuur worden in vele landen van te voren beoordeeld op basis van een maatschappelijke kosten-baten analyse (MKBA). Voor fietsbeleidsopties is dat veel minder gangbaar. Dit paper bediscussieert de mogelijkheden om potentiële beleidsopties gericht op fietsen...

The ripple effect of automated driving

Most papers published so far focus on traffic implications of automated driving, while papers that focus more on wider impacts do not present a respective conceptualization. This paper aims to fill this gap by proposing a conceptualization of policy and society related implications of automated driving inspired by the ripple effect model.

Causaal onderzoek op de relatie tussen mobiliteit en ruimte

Substantiële veranderingen en hun effecten op mobiliteit: Een typologie en een overzicht van de literatuur

Gedurende de afgelopen 40 jaar zijn mobiliteitspatronen meerdere malen blijvend veranderd als gevolg van een aantal 'substantiële veranderingen'. Voorbeelden van dergelijke substantiële veranderingen zijn de snelle opkomst van betaalbare vliegreizen, de oliecrises, en ICT-ontwikkelingen. Zodoende lijkt het voor de meeste onderzoekers en...

Cycling and sounds: The impact of the use of electronic devices on cycling safety

The role of auditory perception of traffic sounds has often been stressed, especially for vulnerable road users such as cyclists or (visually impaired) pedestrians. This often in relation to two growing trends feared to negatively affect the use of auditory signals by road users: popularity of electronic devices (e.g. mobile phones, portable...

A quick-scan appraisal method to determine cost-effectiveness of Traffic and Demand Management measures

This paper presents this quick-scan approach for assessing the cost-effectiveness of smaller and not-well demarcated transport measures that can be used as a first-scan while establishing packages to deal with certain transport problems. It adds to the available evaluation literature (see section 2) in relying on a combination of expert opinions...

Invloed elektrische voertuigen op automobiliteit

Zowel gevestigde als nieuwe autofabrikanten hebben in de periode 2G04-2D11 allerlei verschillende prototypen en modellen van elektrische voertuigen (EV) gemaakt, inclusief driewielers en kleine stadsauto's. De diversiteit in ontwikkelde modellen geeft een indicatie van mogelijke ontwikkelingspaden op de EV-markt. Van de tweezitter Renault Twizy...

Current issues in the Dutch CBA practice

In the Netherlands a guideline for carrying out a CBA for infrastructure projects (the so-called OEI-manual) was constructed in the year 2000. Since then a CBA in line with the OEI-manual became compulsory in the decision making process for all large infrastructure national projects. The aim of this research is to define the main problems in the...

Policy and the evaluation of aircraft noise

In this paper, we hypothesize and test the ideas that (1) people’s subjectivity in relation to aircraft noise is shaped by the policy discourse, (2) this results in a limited number of frames towards aircraft noise, (3) the frames inform people how to think and feel about aircraft noise and (4) the distribution of the frames in the population is...

The trade-off between CO2 emissions and logistics costs based on multi-objective optimization

This paper develops a decision-support tool for estimating the balanced market shares of given freight transport systems operating in a given network, satisfying both the minimum costs and the Carbon-Dioxide (CO2) emission requirements. Since CO2 constraints in logistics markets need to be realized in the near future, a modal shift in freight...

Accessibility and ICT: A review of literature, a conceptual model and a research agenda

Over the past two decades many papers are published in the area of ICTs impact on travel behaviour. Literature focusing on the impacts of ICT on accessibility is relatively scarce. In this paper we give an overview of impacts of ICT on four components of accessibility as distinguished by Geurs and Van Wee (2004): (1) the land-use component, (2)...

Assessment of Innovative Transport Concepts Using Cost Benefits Analyses: The Superbus case

Since the year 2000 the Netherlands are using a new guideline for assessing the costs and benefits of transport systems. This guideline has been used several times now to assess transport systems using existing transport modes like trains. This paper reports on the first time this guideline was used to assess an innovative transport concept, the...
