Potentie multimodaal vervoer in stedelijke regio's

In de Amsterdamse regio wordt er ingezet op de optimale benutting van regionale spoorverbindingen. Voornamelijk in stedelijke gebieden maken treinreizen onderdeel uit van multimodaal vervoer, waarbij reizigers gebruik maken van twee of meer vervoerswijzen. Deze notitie bespreekt de karakteristieken van multimodaal vervoer in Nederland: welke...

The spatial flaws of new towns: Morphological comparison between a Chinese new and old town through the application of space syntax, spacematrix and mixed use index

Many new towns are established in China with the intention of providing desirable places to live. Nevertheless, these new towns often lack the flourishing street life, small businesses, and variety of social activities that old towns have to offer. This paper explores the spatial reasons why old towns tend to perform socio-economically better...

Identifying the spatial parameters for differences in gender behaviour in built environments: The flaneur and flaneuwe of the 21st century

The aim of this research is to show how the spatial features of urban environments affect women’s and men’s behaviour pattern. The paper’s first part reveals the concept flâneuse in the relationship with the flâneur. Then the spatial parameters of built environments are discussed. As the results from this inquiry shows, correlations between the...

Lijnvoering van de toekomst voor het Nederlandse spoornetwerk; verkenning met een genetisch optimalisatiemodel

De Intercitylijnvoering van NS is de afgelopen 40 jaar nauwelijks veranderd, maar de vervoersvraag wel. Het is onduidelijk in hoeverre de bestaande lijnvoering nog aansluit bij de vervoersvraag. De bestaande vervoersvraag is deels het gevolg van de bestaande diensten. Om die reden wordt een potentiële vervoersvraag bepaald, onafhankelijk van de...

A Simple Representation of a Complex Urban Transport System Based on the Analysis of Transport Demand: The Case of Region Ile-de-France

In densely urbanised areas the structure of the transport systems becomes quite complicated. Many types of transportservices are available and many types of modes are being used, thus offering a wide palette of transport options. How do all these transport services and modes relate to each other? In practice it proves to be quite hard to define...

Between Heaven and Earth: Christian Norberg-Schulz's contribution to the phenomenology of place and architecture

The impact of scheduling on service reliability: Trip-time determination and holding points in long-headway services

This paper presents research on optimizing service reliability of longheadway services in urban public transport. Setting the driving time, and thus the departure time at stops, is an important decision when optimizing reliability in urban public transport. The choice of the percentile out of historical data determines the probability of being...

Stability from Structure: Metabolic Networks Are Unlike Other Biological Networks

In recent work, attempts have been made to link the structure of biochemical networks to their complex dynamics. It was shown that structurally stable network motifs are enriched in such networks. In this work, we investigate to what extent these findings apply to metabolic networks. To this end, we extend a previously proposed method by...
