van Beek, A.H.N. (author), Feng, Y. (author), Duives, D.C. (author), Hoogendoorn, S.P. (author)Efficient crowd management is essential for optimizing the performance of pedestrian infrastructures, either in terms of crowd flow or pedestrian levels of safety and comfort. This study investigates the impact of one type of crowd management measure, namely lighting, on pedestrian behavior. Using Virtual Reality experiments, the impact of...journal article 2024

Duives, D.C. (author), Ton, Danique (author)Crowding is often analyzed using crowd dynamics variables. Yet, it is questionable whether quantitative variables fully describe the perception of crowdedness. This paper presents four case studies into the Pedestrian Level-of-Service (PLoS), featuring a 1) mass event, 2) shopping environment, 3) festival, and 4) touristic hotspot. The...journal article 2024

(author)SARS-CoV-2 transmission in indoor spaces, where most infection events occur, depends on the types and duration of human interactions, among others. Understanding how these human behaviours interface with virus characteristics to drive pathogen transmission and dictate the outcomes of non-pharmaceutical interventions is important for the...journal article 2024

van Beek, A.H.N. (author), Duives, D.C. (author), Feng, Y. (author), Hoogendoorn, S.P. (author)Although numerous studies used Virtual Reality (VR) to study pedestrian behavior, there is an ongoing debate about the validity of using VR for studying pedestrian behavior. This study aims to contribute toward the validation of immersive VR systems for pedestrian wayfinding behavior studies by conducting a direct comparison of a field...journal article 2024

Scerri, Karyn (author), Attard, Maria (author), Duives, D.C. (author), Cats, O. (author)Understanding people’s travel behavior is key to creating spaces that discourage car use, especially for short, walkable distances. The scope of this study is to understand better people’s propensity to use a car rather than walk for short-distance trips by focusing on the concept of perceived exertion (PE). A comparison is performed of two...journal article 2023

Sparnaaij, M. (author), Yuan, Y. (author), Daamen, W. (author), Duives, D.C. (author)The Covid-19 pandemic has had a large impact on the world. The virus spreads especially easily among people in indoor spaces such as restaurants. Hence, tools that can assess how different restaurant settings can impact the potential spread of an airborne virus and that can assess the effectiveness of mitigation policies are of high value....journal article 2023

Irnich, Jakob (author), van der Wal, C.N. (author), Duives, D.C. (author), Auping, Willem L. (author)Different leader-follower behaviors may be observed in models, such as group gathering, backtracking, and changing between groups. However, a comparison of these behaviors resulting in possible substantially different estimates of optimal evacuation procedures is lacking. Hence, we developed an agent-based model in combination with exploratory...conference paper 2023

Feng, Y. (author), Duives, D.C. (author), Hoogendoorn, S.P. (author)Virtual Reality (VR) provides the possibility to study pedestrian wayfinding behaviour in multi-level buildings. Although VR has been applied increasingly to study pedestrian behaviour, it has remained unclear how different VR technology would affect behavioural outcomes in a multi-level building. The study compares the adoption of different VR...journal article 2022

Ton, D. (author), Arendsen, J. (author), de Bruyn, Menno (author), Severens, Valerie (author), van Hagen, Mark (author), van Oort, N. (author), Duives, D.C. (author)With the arrival of COVID-19 in the Netherlands in Spring 2020 and the start of the “intelligent lockdown”, daily life changed drastically. The working population was urged to telework as much as possible. However, not everyone had a suitable job for teleworking or liked teleworking. From a mobility perspective, teleworking was considered a...journal article 2022

Sun, Shi (author), Sun, Cheng (author), Duives, D.C. (author), Hoogendoorn, S.P. (author)Pedestrian spaces are increasingly becoming popular locations for shopping, recreation, festivities, and other social activities. Therefore, an improved understanding of the factors that make walking environments enjoyable and safe is essential. Most existing studies focus on modelling walking behaviours of individual pedestrians. However,...journal article 2022

Ton, D. (author), Duives, D.C. (author)Globally, the need for more sustainable modes of transport is rising. One of the main contenders of the car is the electrical bike (e-bike). To promote the use of e-bikes, pilots are being organised worldwide (e.g. in the USA, Norway, and the Netherlands). Studies have shown that providing a free e-bike to people for a limited period of time...journal article 2021
