Preferences for first and last mile shared mobility between stops and activity locations: A case study of local public transport users in Utrecht, the Netherlands

Shared transport modes can potentially contribute to first and last mile connections of public transport (PT) trips but this remains quite underexplored in the literature. Our study explores the user preferences for shared modes as first and last mile option to connect activity locations. We have focussed on local public transport in the...

Deployment Scenarios for First/Last-Mile Operations With Driverless Shuttles Based on Literature Review and Stakeholder Survey

Driverless shuttles are a new automated road-based means of transport, small in size and capacity and with a relatively low operational speed. Classified as high-automation vehicles, these shuttles are capable of driverless operations in specific operational design domains. Given their characteristics, driverless shuttles have been studied as a...

Adoption of Shared Automated Vehicles as Access and Egress Mode of Public Transport: A Research Agenda

Shared Automated Vehicles (SAVs) are a new road-based means of transport, usually small in size and capacity, with a relatively low operating speed and no (regular) possibility for the user to engage in any of the driving tasks. Past research focused on the implication of fully Automated Vehicles (AVs) in the transport sector, especially...

Identification and quantification of link vulnerability in multi-level public transport networks: a passenger perspective

Robust public transport networks are important, since disruptions decrease the public transport accessibility of areas. Despite this importance, the full passenger impacts of public transport network vulnerability have not yet been considered in science and practice. We have developed a methodology to identify the most vulnerable links in the...

Robuustheid van multi-level openbaar vervoer netwerken: Een methodologie om (on)robuustheid te kwantificeren vanuit een reizigersperspectief

Ondanks het belang van robuuste openbaar vervoer netwerken, wordt dit onderwerp door wetenschap en praktijk nog niet volledig vanuit een reizigersperspectief benaderd. Traditioneel wordt robuustheid vanuit een mono-level perspectief benaderd: voor elk netwerk op een bepaald functioneel niveau apart. Dit onderzoek analyseert het totale multi...
