Conceição, Lígia (author), Correia, Gonçalo (author), van Arem, B. (author), Tavares, José Pedro (author)Once trusted, automated vehicles (AVs) will gradually appear in urban areas. Such a transition is an opportunity in transport planning to control undesired impacts and possibly mitigate congestion at a time when both conventional vehicles (CVs) and AVs coexist. This paper deals with the complex transport decision problem of designing part of the...journal article 2024

Mahajan, N. (author), Hegyi, A. (author), Hoogendoorn, S.P. (author), van Arem, B. (author)Drivers initiate a discretionary lane change when they perceive an anticipated improvement in their own driving condition from moving to another lane. However, such a lane change can slow down other vehicles on the target lane, and even worse initiate a disturbance. In this work, we argue that the blocking effect triggered by individual lane...journal article 2024

Liao, F. (author), Vleugel, J (author), Bösehans, Gustav (author), Dissanayake, Dilum (author), Thorpe, Neil (author), Bell, Margaret (author), van Arem, B. (author), Correia, Gonçalo (author)Electric mobility hubs (eHUBS) are locations where multiple shared electric modes including electric cars and e-bikes are available. To assess their potential to reduce private car use, it is important to investigate to what extent people would switch to eHUBS modes after their introduction. Moreover, people may adapt their behaviour...journal article 2024

Ozturker, M. (author), Correia, Gonçalo (author), van Arem, B. (author)In the present study, we explored the influence of ride experience in automated minibuses (AmBs) on transport mode choice that includes the automated shuttles as well as conventional transport options (car, bus and bicycle) on the first-/ last-mile stage of rail trips. We used the case study of the connection between Brandevoort train station...journal article 2024

Oskina, M.I. (author), Farah, H. (author), Morsink, Peter (author), Happee, R. (author), van Arem, B. (author)The operation of automated vehicles (AVs) on shared roads requires attention concerning their interactions with vulnerable road users (VRUs), such as cyclists. This study investigates the safety of cyclists when they interact with an AV and compares it with their interaction with a conventional vehicle. Overall, 29 cyclists participated in a...journal article 2023

Ashkrof, P. (author), Correia, Gonçalo (author), Cats, O. (author), van Arem, B. (author)Ride-sourcing drivers, as individual service suppliers, can freely adopt their own relocation strategies, including waiting, cruising freely, or following the platform recommendations. These decisions substantially impact the balance between supply and demand, and consequently affect system performance. We conducted a stated choice experiment...journal article 2023

Wang, Y. (author), Farah, H. (author), Yu, Rongjie (author), Qiu, Shuhan (author), van Arem, B. (author)Autonomous vehicles (AVs) are being introduced to the traffic system with the promise of improving current traffic status. However, the empirical data also indicate contrary effects with estimated higher crash rate and change of crash patterns. Therefore, it is necessary to investigate the driving behavior of AVs and human-driven vehicles ...journal article 2023

Vial, A.A. (author), Salomons, A.M. (author), Daamen, W. (author), van Arem, B. (author), Hoogendoorn-Lanser, S. (author), Hoogendoorn, S.P. (author)When making trips in urban environments, cyclists lose time as they stop and idle at signalized intersections. The main objective of this study was to show how augmenting the situational awareness of traffic signal controllers, using observations from moving sensor platforms, can enable prioritization of cyclists and reduce lost time within...journal article 2023

Stochastic-priority-integrated signal coordination considering connected bus operation uncertaintiesOu, S. (author), An, Kun (author), Ma, Wanjing (author), Hegyi, A. (author), van Arem, B. (author)Multimodal arterial signal coordination for buses and passenger vehicles can improve arterial travel smoothness and efficiency. However, uncertainty in bus operations requires signal priority at intersections, which impacts coordination and increases stop times for other traffic types. Therefore, this study proposes a stochastic priority...journal article 2023

Hao, R. (author), Zhang, Yuxiao (author), Ma, Wanjing (author), Yu, Chunhui (author), Sun, Tuo (author), van Arem, B. (author)With the development of internet of vehicles and automated driving, individual-based trajectory control at intersections becomes possible. Trajectory planning and coordination for connected and automated vehicles (CAVs) have been studied at isolated “signal-free” intersections and in “signal-free” corridors under the fully CAV environment in...journal article 2023

Chen, N. (author), van Arem, B. (author), Wang, M. (author)Connected Automated Vehicles (CAVs) have the potential to improve traffic operations when they cooperatively maneuver in merging sections. State-of-the-art approaches in cooperative merging either build on heuristics solutions or prohibit mainline CAVs to change lane on multilane highways. This paper proposes a hierarchical cooperative...journal article 2022

Vial, A.A. (author), Hendeby, Gustaf (author), Daamen, W. (author), van Arem, B. (author), Hoogendoorn, S.P. (author)The increase in perception capabilities of connected mobile sensor platforms (e.g., self-driving vehicles, drones, and robots) leads to an extensive surge of sensed features at various temporal and spatial scales. Beyond their traditional use for safe operation, available observations could enable to see how and where people move on sidewalks...journal article 2022

Stevens, Martijn (author), Correia, Gonçalo (author), Scheltes, Arthur (author), van Arem, B.

Public transport is regarded as a sustainable mode of transport for these regions and therefore transport policies aim to increase its attractiveness....journal article 2022

Storm, Pieter Jacob (author), Mandjes, Michel (author), van Arem, B. (author)This paper studies a Gaussian process approximation for a class of stochastic traffic flow models. It can be used to efficiently and accurately evaluate the joint (in the spatial and temporal sense) distribution of vehicle-density distributions in road traffic networks of arbitrary topology. The Gaussian approximation follows, via a scaling...journal article 2022

Ashkrof, P. (author), Correia, Gonçalo (author), Cats, O. (author), van Arem, B. (author)The performance of ride-sourcing services such as Uber and Lyft is determined by the collective choices of individual drivers who are not only chauffeurs but private fleet providers. In such a context, ride-sourcing drivers are free to decide whether to accept or decline ride requests assigned by the ride-hailing platform. Drivers’ ride...journal article 2022

van Kuijk, R.J. (author), Correia, Gonçalo (author), van Oort, N. (author), van Arem, B. (author)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...journal article 2022

Soni, Shubham (author), Reddy, N. (author), Tsapi, Anastasia (author), van Arem, B. (author), Farah, H. (author)Advancements in technology are bringing automated vehicles (AVs) closer to wider deployment. However, in the early phases of their deployment, AVs will coexist and frequently interact with human-driven vehicles (HDVs). These interactions might lead to changes in the driving behavior of HDVs. A field test was conducted in the Netherlands with...journal article 2022

Calvert, S.C. (author), van Arem, B. (author), Lappin, Jane (author)Traffic safety is arguably the most important traffic metric from a human perspective. Still, many millions of people are killed on roads every year. In this paper, the concept of Herd Immunity for Traffic Safety (HITS) is presented for the first time. This concept focuses on identifying and describing the increased level of safety that is...journal article 2022
