Madadi, B. (author), van Nes, R. (author), Snelder, M. (author), van Arem, B. (author)This paper presents a bi‐level model to optimize automated‐vehicle‐friendly subnetworks in urban road networks and an efficient algorithm to solve the model, which is relevant for the transition period with vehicles of different automation levels. We formulate the problem as a network design problem, define solution requirements, present an...journal article 2020

Farah, H. (author), Bhusari, Shubham (author), van Gent, P. (author), Mullakkal-Babu, F.A. (author), Morsink, Peter (author), Happee, R. (author), van Arem, B. (author)Lower levels of automation are designed to work in specific conditions referred to as the Operational Design Domain (ODD). Beyond these conditions, the human driver is expected to take control. A mismatch between a driver's understanding and expectations of the automated vehicle capabilities and its actual capabilities as prescribed in the...journal article 2020

Liang, X. (author), Correia, Gonçalo (author), An, Kun (author), van Arem, B. (author)In this paper, we study the dial-a-ride problem of ride-sharing automated taxis (ATs) in an urban road network, considering the traffic congestion caused by the ATs. This shared automated mobility system is expected to provide a seamless door-to-door service for urban travellers, much like what the existing transportation network companies ...journal article 2020

Varotto, S.F. (author), Farah, H. (author), Bogenberger, Klaus (author), van Arem, B. (author), Hoogendoorn, S.P. (author)Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) can reduce traffic congestion and accidents. In dense traffic flow conditions and when changing lanes, drivers prefer to deactivate the ACC. These control transitions between automation and manual driving could impact driver behaviour characteristics. However, few studies have analysed the magnitude and duration of...journal article 2020

van der Gun, J.P.T. (author), Pel, A.J. (author), van Arem, B. (author)By extending static traffic assignment with explicit capacity constraints, quasi-dynamic traffic assignment yields more realistic results while avoiding many disadvantages of a dynamic assignment. We analyse the computation of travel times in quasi-dynamic assignment models. We formulate and check requirements for the correctness of resulting...journal article 2020

Ashkrof, P. (author), Correia, Gonçalo (author), Cats, O. (author), van Arem, B. (author)Ride-sourcing has recently been at the centre of attention as the most disruptive mode of transport associated with the so-called shared mobility era. Drivers, riders, the platform, policymakers, and the general public are considered as the main stakeholders of the system. While ride-sourcing platforms have been growing, so did the heightened...journal article 2020

Nordhoff, S. (author), Stapel, J.C.J. (author), van Arem, B. (author), Happee, R. (author)A necessary condition for the effective integration of automated vehicles in our daily lives is their acceptance by passengers inside and pedestrians and cyclists outside the automated vehicle. 119 respondents experienced an automated shuttle ride with a ‘hidden steward on board’ in a mixed traffic environment in Berlin-Schöneberg. A mixed...journal article 2020

Chen, N. (author), van Arem, B. (author), Alkim, Tom (author), Wang, M. (author)Gap selection and dynamic speed profiles of interacting vehicles at on-ramps affect the safety and efficiency of highway merging sections. This paper puts forward a hierarchical control approach for Connected Automated Vehicles (CAVs) to achieve efficient and safe merging operations. A tactical layer controller employs a second-order car...journal article 2020

Razmi Rad, S. (author), Farah, H. (author), Taale, Henk (author), van Arem, B. (author), Hoogendoorn, S.P. (author)Dedicated Lanes (DLs) have been proposed as a potential scenario for the deployment of Automated and/or Connected Vehicles (C/AVs) on the road network. However, evidence-based knowledge regarding the impacts of different design configurations, utilization policies, and the design of their access/egress on traffic safety and efficiency is...journal article 2020

van Duin, Ron (author), Wiegmans, B. (author), van Arem, B. (author), van Amstel, Y.A. (author)E-commerce is still a strong growing segment with fierce competition among parcel delivery service providers. To stay ahead of the competitors innovation is necessary. Currently, parcels are being delivered with large delivery vans which will usually deliver single parcels to doorsteps of their customers. This so called 'last mile delivery'...journal article 2020

Winter, M.K.E. (author), Cats, O. (author), Martens, Karel (author), van Arem, B. (author)New forms of shared mobility such as free-floating car-sharing services and shared automated vehicles have the potential to change urban travel behaviour. In this paper, we identify potential user classes for these new modes. For this, a stated choice experiment on mode choice among a sample of the Dutch urban population has been conducted,...journal article 2020

Mullakkal-Babu, F.A. (author), Wang, M. (author), van Arem, B. (author), Happee, R. (author)We present a simulation-based approach to assess the safety impacts of vehicles equipped with Automated Driving Systems (ADS) in mixed traffic with Human-driven Vehicles (HV). Specifically, we compare two generic longitudinal strategies of ADS to handle a cut-in: Reactive ADS acting only when the cut-in vehicle crosses the target lane boundary,...journal article 2020

AMSense: How Mobile Sensing Platforms Capture Pedestrian/Cyclist Spatiotemporal Properties in CitiesVial, A.A. (author), Daamen, W. (author), Ding, Aaron Yi (author), van Arem, B. (author), Hoogendoorn, S.P. (author)We present a design for a novel mobile sensing system (AMSense) that uses vehicles as mobile sensing nodes in a network to capture spatiotemporal properties of pedestrians and cyclists (active modes) in urban environments. In this dynamic, multi-sensor approach, real-time data, algorithms, and models are fused to estimate presence, positions and...journal article 2020

Nagalur Subraveti, H.H.S. (author), Knoop, V.L. (author), van Arem, B. (author)Lane drops are a common bottleneck source on motorway networks. Congestion sets in upstream of a lane drop as a result of the lane changing activity of merging vehicles. This causes the queue discharge rate at the bottleneck to decrease and drop below the capacity, leading to capacity drop and further congestion. The objective of this study is...journal article 2020

Legêne, Martijn F. (author), Auping, Willem L. (author), Correia, Gonçalo (author), van Arem, B. (author)Urban form develops in close feedback with different modes of transportation. The introduction and adoption of automated vehicles (AVs) are expected to have an impact on the development of cities as well, as the use of AVs may, for example, lead to more efficient road use and less need for parking spaces. In order to study those impacts, we...journal article 2020
