Arbara, Sophia (author), van Nes, Akkelies (author), Pereira Roders, A. (author)Top world heritage artifacts act as pedestrian flow attractors in historic urban areas. Despite the growing literature on pedestrian movement in cities, evidence of the relationship between cultural attractors and the spatial characteristics of street spaces between these artifacts is scarce. This contribution applies the theory of natural...journal article 2023

Tinga, Angelica M. (author), van Zeumeren, I.M. (author), Christoph, Michiel (author), van Grondelle, E.D. (author), Cleij, Diane (author), Aldea, Anna (author), van Nes, C.N. (author)With increasing implementation of automated driving technology it is expected that different automation modes will be present within the same vehicle and within a single trip. At all times during automated driving the driver needs to have ‘mode awareness’, which is an understanding of the automation mode and the corresponding responsibilities...journal article 2023

Blad, Koen (author), Correia, Gonçalo (author), van Nes, R. (author), Annema, J.A. (author)As a solution to the high greenhouse gas emissions and declining quality of life caused by private vehicles, the shared mobility hub is introduced. The shared mobility hub is a place where multiple modalities come together, including public transport and shared private mobility. As the shared mobility hub is a relatively new solution, limited...journal article 2022

Torabi Kachousangi, F. (author), Mokhtarzadeh, Safoora (author), van Nes, Akkelies (author), van Oort, N. (author), Hoogendoorn, S.P. (author)Multimodal hubs connect different modes, allowing people to switch from one mode to another and seamlessly access/egress to/from their origin/destinations. However, there are limited methods to estimate the impact of future measures on the accessibility of multimodal hubs. These future measures could be wide reaching, among others,...conference paper 2022

Stapel, J.C.J. (author), Happee, R. (author), Christoph, Michiel (author), van Nes, C.N. (author), Martens, Marieke (author)This study reports usage of supervised automation and driver attention from longitudinal naturalistic driving observations. Automation inexperienced drivers were provided with instrumented vehicles with adaptive cruise control (ACC) and lane keeping (LK) features (SAE level 2). Data was collected comparing one month of driving without support...journal article 2022

Varotto, Silvia F. (author), Mons, Celina (author), Hogema, Jeroen H. (author), Christoph, Michiel (author), van Nes, C.N. (author), Martens, Marieke H. (author)Advanced driver assistance systems such as adaptive cruise control (ACC) and lane keeping system (LKS) potentially contribute to reducing crash rates and traffic congestion. On-road studies based on early ACC systems operational at medium–high speeds only have shown that the system reduces the proportion of short time gaps when activated....journal article 2022

Aldea, Anna (author), Tinga, Angelica M. (author), van Zeumeren, I.M. (author), van Nes, C.N. (author), Aschenbrenner, D. (author)Higher levels of vehicle automation come with new challenges for designing safe systems. The Human Machine-Interface (HMI) plays a key role in mediating the interaction between the human driver and vehicle automation. By providing the driver with appropriate feedback, the HMI has the potential to increase mode awareness and situational...conference paper 2022

Tinga, Angelica M. (author), Cleij, Diane (author), Jansen, Reinier J. (author), van der Kint, Sander (author), van Nes, C.N. (author)In the transition towards higher levels of vehicle automation, one of the key concerns with regards to human factors is to avoid mode confusion, when drivers misinterpret the driving mode and therewith misjudge their own tasks and responsibility. To enhance mode awareness, a clear human centered Human Machine Interface (HMI) is essential. The...journal article 2022

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

van Nes, A. (author)This contribution demonstrates how inner ring roads change the location pattern of shops in urban areas with the application of the space syntax method. A market rational behaviour persists, in that shop owners always search for an optimal location to reach as many customers as possible. If the accessibility to this optimal location is affected...journal article 2021

Djenaihi, Walid‐Mahfoud (author), Zemmouri, Noureddine (author), Djenane, Moussadek (author), van Nes, A. (author)This contribution investigates the correlation between street noise levels and the spatial configuration of the street network in four different types of neighbourhoods in the Algerian city of Biskra. Space syntax methods are used to analyse spatial relationships, where accessibility, intelligibility, and legibility of urban spaces can be...journal article 2021

Yamu, Claudia (author), van Nes, A. (author), Garau, Chiara (author)Bill Hillier’s space syntax method and theory enables us to describe the spatial properties of a sustainable city. Empirical testing of the space syntax method over time has confirmed the capacity and innovativeness of analyzing spatial relationships with the purpose of understanding and explaining the socio-spatial organization of built...journal article 2021

van Nes, A. (author)This contribution demonstrates how space syntax methods on various scale levels can be used to identify and describe the spatial features of a compact city. Firstly, the term urban compactness is discussed. A short discussion of some writings on the compact city are elaborated. As it transpired, urban compactness can best be approached from 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

van Nes, A. (author), Yamu, Claudia (author)In this chapter, we first explain the concept of an axial line and how the axial map is applied in space syntax. We then discuss the static measure of ‘connectivity’ with its ‘one-step’ to ‘n-step’ logic, including its meaning for axial integration analysis. We further present the segment integration analysis. Using the street segment as the...book chapter 2021
