Van de Velde, D.M. (author), Lutje Schipholt, L.R. (author), Veeneman, W.W. (author)The competitive tendering regime introduced in The Netherlands in 2001 aims at stimulating innovation in service design. One can observe, in the meantime, a variety of arrangements as transport authorities vary considerably in the level of service design freedom they give to operators, both in tendering and within contracts. This paper presents...journal article 2008

Heinen, E. (author), Ogilvie, David (author)Purpose: To strengthen our understanding of the impact of baseline variability in mode choice on the likelihood of travel behaviour change. Methods: Quasi-experimental analyses in a cohort study of 450 commuters exposed to a new guided busway with a path for walking and cycling in Cambridge, UK. Exposure to the intervention was defined using...journal article 2016

Cats, O. (author), Loutos, G (author)Online predictions of bus arrival times have the potential to reduce the uncertainty associated with bus operations. By better anticipating future conditions, online predictions can reduce perceived and actual passenger travel times as well as facilitate more proactive decision making by service providers. Even though considerable research...journal article 2016

Cats, O. (author), Hartl, Maximilian (author)Transit systems are subject to congestion that influences system performance and level of service. The evaluation of measures to relieve congestion requires models that can capture their network effects and passengers' adaptation. In particular, on-board congestion leads to an increase of crowding discomfort and denied boarding and a decrease in...journal article 2016

Cats, O. (author)Investments in transport are increasingly motivated by the need to improve its robustness — the capacity to absorb disturbances with a minimal impact on system performance. Nonetheless, there is lack of knowledge on how to assess and quantify the robustness value of new investments. This study investigates the robustness of alternative public...journal article 2016

Cats, O. (author), Koppenol, Gert Jaap (author), Warnier, Martijn (author)Network robustness refers to as the capacity to absorb disturbances with a minimal impact on system performance. Notwithstanding, network robustness assessment has been mostly confined to the analysis of complete link breakdown based on topological metrics. We propose reliability indicators that encompass changes in network performance with...journal article 2017

Abenoza, RF (author), Cats, O. (author), Susilo, YO (author)Increasing public transport ridership while providing a service that better caters to individual travelers poses an important goal and challenge for society, particularly public transport authorities and operators. This study identifies and characterizes current and potential users of public transport in Sweden and identifies the most important...journal article 2017

Swierstra, A.B. (author), van Nes, R. (author), Molin, E.J.E. (author)The implementation of travel time reliability (TTR) in route choice behaviour is still not very common in transport models, especially not in a public transport context. The reasons probably are that it is difficult to measure and that there is no agreement how it best can be represented in utility functions. Typically, it is represented by a...journal article 2017

Scheltes, Arthur (author), Correia, Gonçalo (author)The last mile in a public transport trip is known to bring a large disutility for passengers, because the conventional transport modes for this stage of the trip can, in many cases, be rather slow, inflexible and not provide a seamless experience to passengers. Fully automated vehicles (AVs), that is, those which do not need a driver, could act...journal article 2017

De Koning, R.E. (author), van Nes, A. (author), Ye, Y. (author), Roald, H.J. (author)Bergen city in Norway is presently undergoing an enormous population growth. In this respect, Bergen municipality wanted to identify all the possibilities for densification in the current situation. Therefore, the following issues were evaluated: street network and public transport accessibility, building density, degree of functional...conference paper 2017

Cats, O. (author)The structure of transport networks is the outcome of a large number of infrastructure investment decisions taken over a long time span. Network indicators are widely used for characterizing transport network topology and its performance as well as provide insights on possible developments. Little is known however on how rail bound public...journal article 2017

Wang, Y. (author), Correia, Gonçalo (author), de Romph, E. (author), Timmermans, H. J.P.(Harry) (author)A location choice model explains how travellers choose their trip destinations especially for those activities which are flexible in space and time. The model is usually estimated using travel survey data; however, little is known about how to use smart card data (SCD) for this purpose in a public transport network. Our study extracted trip...journal article 2017

Yap, M.D. (author), Nijënstein, S. (author), van Oort, N. (author)The availability of smart card data from public transport travelling the last decades allows analyzing current and predicting future public transport usage. Public transport models are commonly applied to predict ridership due to structural network changes, using a calibrated parameter set. Predicting the impact of planned disturbances, like...journal article 2018

Degeler, V. (author), Heydenrijk-Ottens, L.J.C. (author), Luo, D. (author), van Oort, N. (author)We perform analysis of public transport data from March 2015 from The<br/>Hague, the Netherlands, combined from three sources: static network information, automatic vehicles location (AVL) and automated fare collection (AFC) data. We highlight the effect of bunching swings, and show that this phenomenon can be extracted using unsupervised...conference paper 2018

Luo, D. (author), Cats, O. (author), van Lint, J.W.C. (author)It has been rarely investigated in the field of public transport whether passenger ow can be explained by network topology. Based on the rich data sets from The Hague, The Netherlands, we conduct this study try- ing to shed light upon this question. The relation between passenger ow and topological measures in different public transport network...conference paper 2018

Peftitsi, Soumela (author), Jenelius, Erik (author), Cats, O.

Cats, O. (author), van Beurden, Merlijn (author)This paper proposes a model for simultaneously determining the stopping patterns and frequencies of public transport services. Model formulation considers the impacts of alternative network design with limited stop solutions on passenger choice of origin and destination stations, route choice and possibly unsatisfied demand. The model is tested...conference paper 2018

Cats, O. (author), Glück, Stefan (author)This paper presents a model for frequency and vehicle capacity determination that uses a transit assignment model which can capture the dynamic effects on overall system performance. This allows accounting for variations in service reliability and crowding that have not been accounted for in the tactical planning insofar. Model formulation...conference paper 2018

Heydenrijk-Ottens, L.J.C. (author), Degeler, V. (author), Luo, D. (author), van Oort, N. (author), van Lint, J.W.C. (author)In this extended abstract, we show the supervised learning approach to<br/>predicting passenger load of trams, based on historical passenger load patterns. We look at two different cases: predicting long-term passenger load of any given day and time, and predicting short-term passenger load at a particular public transport vehicle.conference paper 2018
