Exploring the role of bicycle sharing programs in relation to urban transit

In this study a unique bicycle sharing program (BSP) is studied: a BSP initiated by an urban transit provider (buses and trams). The idea is that the combined use of BSPs and buses and trams could increase the catchment area of urban transit alone, therefore offering a more competitive alternative for the car. However, in the scientific...

Understanding the Role of Cycling to Urban Transit Stations through a Simultaneous Access Mode and Station Choice Model

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...

Improving predictions of public transport usage during disturbances based on smart card data

The availability of smart card data from public transport travelling the last decades allows analyzing current and predicting future public transport usage. Public transport models are commonly applied to predict ridership due to structural network changes, using a calibrated parameter set. Predicting the impact of planned disturbances, like...

Gebiedskenmerken als basis voor herontwerp OV-netwerk Den Haag

Hoe zou het OV van Den Haag eruit zien als we het opnieuw zouden ontwerpen? Om verbetermogelijkheden in het huidige netwerk op te sporen hebben we een ontwerpmethodiek toegepast met als uitgangspunt een uitgebreide demografische analyse. De methodiek bestond uit vier stappen: In stap 1 zijn demografische gegevens gebruikt voor het genereren van...
