Veeneman, Wijnand (author)This chapter introduces governance as the ruleset that stakeholders work with when making decisions, in this on how to deal with COVID crisis in public transport. This chapter looks at several countries and the way in which their decisions, shared between authorities (health and transport) and operators, have shaped the effects on ridership. In...book chapter 2022

van Wee, G.P. (author)Accessibility by distinguished transport modes is probably the most important concept in transport geography and transport planning: it expresses that the transport system aims to provide access to places where people want to carry out activities. But it is also a concept for which many definitions and indicators are available, each...book chapter 2021

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. (author)The paper proposes a methodology based on multiple automated<br/>data sources for evaluating the eects of station layout, arriving traveller flows,<br/>and platform and on-board crowding on the distribution of boarding passengers<br/>in individual cars of a metro train. The methodology is applied to a case<br/>study for a sequence of stations in...conference paper 2018

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

Drabicki, Arkadiusz (author), Cats, O. (author), Kucharski, R.M. (author)Bus bunching is a well-known problem in public transport networks. It is characterized by a self-amplifying relationship between uneven distribution of rising passenger loads and deteriorating service regularity. The focus of this study is to analyse whether this negative feedback loop can be addressed by providing real-time crowding...conference paper 2021

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

Perera, Sara (author), Massobrio, R.M. (author)Public transport plays a key role in expanding the distances that people can travel using active modes of transport. Studying walking accessibility to public transportation systems is highly relevant, since the walk to stops/stations can be particularly challenging for children, the elderly, citizens with disabilities, and for the general...conference paper 2023

van de Velde, Didier (author)This thesis finds its origins in the debates that developed in the 1980s in Western Europe as to the role competition and private entrepreneurship should play in the provision of public transport services. At the time, observation of the debates showed there was widespread misunderstanding about the institutional changes put in place and the...doctoral thesis 2019

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

Gkiotsalitis, Konstantinos (author), Cats, O. (author), Liu, T. (author)We perform a systematic review of real-time control strategies for transfer synchronisations in public transport. In particular, we review inter-station and intra-station control measures that can be applied in near real-time, including vehicle holding, stop-skipping, speed control, short-turning, rescheduling, interlining, rerouting, and...journal article 2022

Cats, O. (author), Ferranti, Francesco (author)Urban and regional areas worldwide exhibit a complex and uneven distribution of activities with certain areas attracting more people during different time periods. In this study we systemically classify different parts of the urban area which are most attractive as measured by their ability to attract visitors. A weekly visiting profile is...journal article 2022

Cats, O. (author), Birch, Nigel (author)The development of public transport networks in polycentric regions involves making complex trade-offs between extending network coverage, densifying local connections, offering improved connections between urban centers and increasing capacity on existing links. Moreover, different modalities might be suitable for each of these development...journal article 2021

Chowdhury, S.J. (author), van Wee, G.P. (author)In many cities, public transport has a higher ridership level from women compared to men, yet most systems are not designed for them. Many female riders fear of being a victim. Most of their negative experiences are usually associated with the urban environment in and around stations/stops. Integrated public transport systems will require...journal article 2020

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
