Ton, D. (author), Shelat, S. (author), Nijënstein, Sandra (author), Rijsman, Lotte (author), van Oort, N. (author), Hoogendoorn, S.P. (author)Governments worldwide are aiming to increase sustainable mode use to increase sustainability, livability, and accessibility. Integration of bicycle and transit can increase catchment areas of transit compared with walking and thus provide better competition to non-sustainable modes. To achieve this, effective measures have to be designed that...journal article 2020

Coutinho, Felipe Mariz (author), van Oort, N. (author), Christoforou, Zoi (author), Alonso González, M.J. (author), Cats, O. (author), Hoogendoorn, S.P. (author)The diffusion of the smartphone and the urban sprawl is pushing both private and public actors to revisit the concept of demand-responsive transport (DRT). This paper provides a historical overview of DRT experiences, understanding their pros and cons. In addition, it presents the case study of Mokumflex, a 12-month DRT pilot program that...journal article 2020

Yuan, Y. (author), Goni Ros, B. (author), Bui, Ha H. (author), Daamen, W. (author), Vu, Hai L. (author), Hoogendoorn, S.P. (author)Macroscopic pedestrian models are theoretically simpler than microscopic models, and they can potentially be solved faster while producing reasonable predictions of crowd dynamics. Therefore, they can be very useful for applications such as large-scale simulation, real-time state estimation and crowd management. However, the numerical methods...journal article 2020

Ton, D. (author), Bekhor, Shlomo (author), Cats, O. (author), Duives, D.C. (author), Hoogendoorn-Lanser, S. (author), Hoogendoorn, S.P. (author)Active modes take up an increasingly important place on the global policy-making agenda. In the Netherlands, a country that is well-known for its high shares of walking and cycling, the government aims at achieving a modal shift among 200,000 commuting car drivers towards using the bicycle. To this end, policy measures need to be introduced....journal article 2020

Hanseler, F.S. (author), van den Heuvel, Jeroen P.A. (author), Cats, O. (author), Daamen, W. (author), Hoogendoorn, S.P. (author)We present a transit model that, based on automated fare collection and train tracking data, describes pedestrian movements in train stations and vehicle-specific train ridership distributions. Our approach differs from existing models in that we describe on-board passenger dynamics and pedestrian dynamics at stations in a joint framework. We...journal article 2020

Narayan S., Jishnu (author), Cats, O. (author), van Oort, N. (author), Hoogendoorn, S.P. (author)The recent emergence of innovative mobility solutions is changing the mobility landscape in urban areas. However, it remains unknown how the combined operation of private and pooled on-demand services affect service performance and the required dimensioning of the fleet size for such services. This study develops a model to determine the...journal article 2020

van Oijen, T.P. (author), Daamen, W. (author), Hoogendoorn, S.P. (author)This paper describes a method to estimate the parameters of a Recursive link-based Logit model (RL) using measurements of a set of spatially fixed proximity sensors, with limited hit rates, which can uniquely identify people, such as Wi-Fi-, RFID- or Bluetooth-sensors. The observed ‘route’ of an individual, where we focus on pedestrians in an...journal article 2020

Duives, D.C. (author), van Oijen, T.P. (author), Hoogendoorn, S.P. (author)Crowd monitoring systems (CMSs) provide a state-of-the-art solution to manage crowds objectively. Most crowd monitoring systems feature one type of sensor, which severely limits the insights one can simultaneously gather regarding the crowd’s traffic state. Incorporating multiple functionally complementary sensor types is expensive. CMSs are...journal article 2020

Liu, M. (author), Hoogendoorn, S.P. (author), Wang, M. (author)In this paper, a trajectory control approach using model predictive control is proposed for cooperative (automated) vehicles. This control approach optimizes accelerations of the controlled connected and automated vehicle (CAV) platoon along a corridor with signalized intersections. The objectives of the proposed approach are to maximize the...journal article 2020

Sparnaaij, M. (author), Duives, D.C. (author), Hoogendoorn, S.P. (author)Rotating ones body is a strategy pedestrians commonly use to avoid collisions. Even though this behaviour impacts capacity heavily, this rotation behaviour is seldomly studied. This research aims to increase insight into rotation behaviour of pedestrians in high density bidirectional and crossing flows. Based on data from the CrowdLimits...conference paper 2020

Reggiani, G. (author), Dabiri, A. (author), Daamen, W. (author), Hoogendoorn, S.P. (author)A tool for travel time estimation of cyclists approaching a traffic light can monitor level of service of intersections in bike crowded cities. This work represents a first step in developing such a tool. Neural Network models are evaluated on how they perform in estimating individual travel time of cyclists approaching a signalized...conference paper 2020

Feng, Y. (author), Duives, D.C. (author), Hoogendoorn, S.P. (author)This paper presents a Virtual Reality (VR) experiment to study pedestrian exit choice behavior during evacuations. It investigates whether and to what extent different types of guidance information (i.e. exit signs and directional signs) influence pedestrian exit choice during an evacuation (drill). The analysis focuses on the commonalities...conference paper 2020

(author)Density is one of the most relevant variables in a traffic flow description. For objects in 2 dimensions, density can be determined by the space that is allocated to each of the objects. This paper introduces a new way of computing the space available for a bicyclist, accounting for speed and accounting for the non-zero size of a bicycle. This...conference paper 2020

Hoogendoorn, Jasper (author)In this thesis, we study the sequential Monte Carlo method for training neural networks in the context of time series forecasting. Sequential Monte Carlo can be particularly useful in problems in which the data is sequential, noisy and non-stationary. We compare this algorithm against a gradient-based method known as stochastic gradient descent ...master thesis 2019

Goni Ros, B. (author), Knoop, V.L. (author), van Arem, B. (author), Hoogendoorn, S.P. (author)Sags are freeway sections along which the gradient changes significantly from downward to upward. The capacity of sags is considerably lower than the capacity of normal sections. Consequently, sags are often freeway bottlenecks. Recently, several control measures have been proposed to improve traffic flow efficiency at sags. Those measures...journal article 2019
