Walking and bicycle catchment areas of tram stops: Factors and insights

Pollution and congestion are important issues in urban mobility. These can potentially be solved by multimodal transport, such as the bicycle-Transit combination, which benefits from the flexible aspect of the bicycle and the wider spatial range of public transport. In addition, the bicycle can increase the catchment areas of public transport...

Determinants of the consideration mode choice set

Evaluating a data-driven approach for choice set identification

The specification of the choice set for travel behaviour analysis is a non-trivial task, as its size and composition are known to influence the results of model estimation and prediction. Most studies specify the choice set using choice set generation algorithms. These methods can introduce two severe errors to the specified choice set: false...

How do people cycle in Amsterdam? Estimating cyclists’ route choice determinants using GPS data from an urban area

Nowadays, the bicycle is seen as a sustainable and healthy substitute for the car in urban environments. The Netherlands is the leading country in terms of bicycle use, especially in urban environments. Yet route choice models featuring inner-city travel that include cyclists are lacking. This paper estimates a cyclists’ route choice model for...

Using Bluetooth and WiFi to unravel real-world slow mode activity travel behaviour

Slow modes have an increasing share in urban mobility. The lack of accurate revealed data has so far hampered scientific research aimed at unravelling slow mode mobility.<br/><br/>Multiple types of data can be collected to gain better insight into slow mode transport and traffic operations, such as counts on specific locations (cross-sections),...
