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...

Containing urban sprawl: An integrated improvement of space-tranport strategies to reduce air pollution emission

Diverse effective strategies have been designed to minimize the phenomenon of urban sprawl. Previous research focused on the link between spatial and transport development strategies to achieve this goal, with the intention of increasing mobility, reducing commuting time and travel costs. However, a side effect of urban sprawl is an increase of...

This report describes the final results of the Connected Cruise Control project. The<br/>Connected Cruise Control project was conducted from December 2009-April 2013 as a High Tech Automotive System Innovation project (HTASD09002), subsidized by<br/>Agentschap NL. The project was conducted by a consortium consisting of Clifford,<br/>Delft...

Incorporating driver distraction in car-following models: Applying the TCI to the IDM

ITS can play a significant role in the improvement of traffic flow, traffic safety and greenhouse gas emissions. However, the implementation of Advanced Driver Assistance Systems may lead to adaptation effects in longitudinal driving behavior following driver distraction. It was however not yet clear how to model these adaptation effects in...

Reducing travel delay by in-car advice on speed, headway and lane use based on downstream traffic flow conditions - a simulation study

A new advisory ADAS system is implemented in micro simulation to asses the effects on traffic flow as well as on safety. The system uses loop detector data from which situations may be recognized where advices are given to drivers in-car. Advice is given on speed, headway and lane use. Effectively the system allows drivers to respond to...

Modelling Driver Assitance Systems by Optimal Control

Driver assistance systems support drivers in operating vehicles in a safe, comfortable and efficient way, and thus may induce changes in traffic flow characteristics. This paper put forward a receding horizon control framework to model driver assistance systems. The accelerations of automated vehicles are determined to optimise a cost function,...
