Calvert, S.C. (author), van Arem, B. (author), Lappin, Jane (author)Traffic safety is arguably the most important traffic metric from a human perspective. Still, many millions of people are killed on roads every year. In this paper, the concept of Herd Immunity for Traffic Safety (HITS) is presented for the first time. This concept focuses on identifying and describing the increased level of safety that is...journal article 2022

de Clercq, G.K. (author), van Binsbergen, A.J. (author), van Arem, B. (author), Snelder, M. (author)Mode choice behaviour is often modelled by discrete choice models, in which the utility of each mode is characterized by mode-specific parameters reflecting how strongly the utility of that mode depends on attributes such as travel speed and cost, and a mode-specific constant value. For new modes, the mode-specific parameters and the constant in...journal article 2022

Ozturker, M. (author), Correia, Gonçalo (author), Scheltes, Arthur (author), Olde Kalter, Marie-José (author), van Arem, B. (author)In this paper, we study the deployment potential of automated minibuses (AmBs) on the first-mile part of public transport (PT) trips or short (sub)urban commutes by comparing “regular” (fixed route and fixed schedule) and “flexible” (door-to-door and on-demand) service types. For reaching that goal, we run a stated choice experiment in the...journal article 2022

Ashkrof, P. (author), Correia, Gonçalo (author), Cats, O. (author), van Arem, B. (author)The performance of ride-sourcing services such as Uber and Lyft is determined by the collective choices of individual drivers who are not only chauffeurs but private fleet providers. In such a context, ride-sourcing drivers are free to decide whether to accept or decline ride requests assigned by the ride-hailing platform. Drivers’ ride...journal article 2022

Vial, A.A. (author), Hendeby, Gustaf (author), Daamen, W. (author), van Arem, B. (author), Hoogendoorn, S.P. (author)The increase in perception capabilities of connected mobile sensor platforms (e.g., self-driving vehicles, drones, and robots) leads to an extensive surge of sensed features at various temporal and spatial scales. Beyond their traditional use for safe operation, available observations could enable to see how and where people move on sidewalks...journal article 2022

Stevens, Martijn (author), Correia, Gonçalo (author), Scheltes, Arthur (author), van Arem, B. (author)The continuing urbanization and corresponding increase in transport demand are putting pressure on the accessibility, safety, sustainability, livability, and efficiency of urbanized regions. Public transport is regarded as a sustainable mode of transport for these regions and therefore transport policies aim to increase its attractiveness....journal article 2022

Nuñez Velasco, J.P. (author), Lee, Yee Mun (author), Uttley, Jim (author), Solernou, Albert (author), Farah, H. (author), van Arem, B. (author), Hagenzieker, Marjan (author), Merat, Natasha (author)The impact of automated vehicles (AV) on pedestrians’ crossing behavior has been the topic of some recent studies, but findings are still scarce and inconclusive. The aim of this study is to determine whether the drivers’ presence and apparent attentiveness in a vehicle influences pedestrians’ crossing behavior, perceived behavioral control,...journal article 2021

Winter, M.K.E. (author), Cats, O. (author), Martens, Karel (author), van Arem, B. (author)With the anticipated introduction of self-driving vehicles, new challenges arise for urban transport- and planning authorities. This study contributes to the efforts of formulating the potential opportunities and threats stemming from the introduction of larger fleets of self-driving vehicles to our cities, and what action could be taken by...journal article 2021

Mullakkal-Babu, F.A. (author), Wang, M. (author), van Arem, B. (author), Shyrokau, B. (author), Happee, R. (author)Current lane-based microscopic traffic simulators combine car-following and lane changing logic to describe the (often discrete) lateral vehicle motion on multi-lane road segments. However, the simulated lateral trajectories are physically unplausible and inside-lane behavior such as lane-keeping and curve negotiation cannot be modelled. In this...journal article 2021

Nuñez Velasco, J.P. (author), de Vries, Anouk (author), Farah, H. (author), van Arem, B. (author), Hagenzieker, Marjan (author)Most of cyclists’ fatalities originate from collisions with motorized vehicles. It is expected that automated vehicles (AV) will be safer than human-driven vehicles, but this depends on the nature of interactions between non-automated road users, among them cyclists. Little research on the interactions between cyclists and AVs exists. This...journal article 2021

Zubin, I. (author), van Oort, N. (author), van Binsbergen, A.J. (author), van Arem, B. (author)Driverless shuttles are a new automated road-based means of transport, small in size and capacity and with a relatively low operational speed. Classified as high-automation vehicles, these shuttles are capable of driverless operations in specific operational design domains. Given their characteristics, driverless shuttles have been studied as a...journal article 2021

Madadi, B. (author), van Nes, R. (author), Snelder, M. (author), van Arem, B. (author)With the advent of automated vehicles (AVs), new infrastructure planning concepts such as subnetworks of AV-ready roads have been proposed to improve the performance of transportation networks and to promote the adoption of AVs. However, these subnetworks should evolve over time in response to the growing AV demand, which necessitates a multi...journal article 2021

Razmi Rad, S. (author), Farah, H. (author), Taale, Henk (author), van Arem, B. (author), Hoogendoorn, S.P. (author)Connected and automated vehicles (CAVs) are expected to enhance traffic efficiency by driving at shorter time headways, and traffic safety by shorter reaction times. However, one of the main concerns regarding their deployment is the mixed traffic situation, in which CAVs and manually driven vehicles (MVs) share the same road. This study...journal article 2021

Nagalur Subraveti, H.H.S. (author), Knoop, V.L. (author), van Arem, B. (author)Control measures at merging locations aimed at either the mainline traffic or on-ramp traffic do not lead to a fairness in the distribution of total delay across the two streams. This paper presents a control strategy of combining a lane change control with a ramp metering system at motorway merges. The control strategy presents the opportunity...journal article 2021

Madadi, B. (author), van Nes, R. (author), Snelder, M. (author), van Arem, B. (author)This study focuses on network configurations to accommodate automated vehicles (AVs) on road networks during the transition period to full automation. The literature suggests that dedicated infrastructure for AVs and enhanced infrastructure for mixed traffic (i.e., AVs on the same lanes with conventional vehicles) are the main alternatives so...journal article 2021

Nagalur Subraveti, H.H.S. (author), Srivastava, Anupam (author), Ahn, Soyoung (author), Knoop, V.L. (author), van Arem, B. (author)This paper presents a novel approach to improve traffic throughput near diverge and weave bottlenecks in mixed traffic with human-driven vehicles (HDVs) and connected automated vehicles (CAVs). This is done by the strategic assignment of CAVs across lanes. The main principle is to induce strategic and necessary lane changes (LCs) (by CAVs and...journal article 2021

Xiao, L. (author), Wang, M. (author), van Arem, B. (author)Cooperative Adaptive Cruise Control (CACC) systems can increase roadway capacity, but the benefits are marginal at low market penetration rates (MPRs). Thus, a CACC dedicated lane is considered to group CACC vehicles for efficient traffic stream. Concepts of converting existing High Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) lanes into CACC lanes emerge, which...journal article 2020
