Goni Ros, B. (author), Knoop, V.L. (author), Van Arem, B. (author), Hoogendoorn, S.P. (author)We present a new control strategy that aims to reduce total delay at sags. The strategy is based on the concept of mainstream traffic flow control. The traffic density at the bottleneck area is regulated in order to keep it slightly below the critical density, hence preventing traffic from breaking down while maximizing outflow. Density is...conference paper 2014

Lee, A. (author), Van Oort, N. (author), Van Nes, R. (author)This paper presents research on synchronization of transfers and its impact on service reliability from a passenger perspective. Passenger reliability is analyzed for the case of a multi-operator transfer node. A method is developed to calculate the passenger centered reliability indicators: additional travel time and reliability buffer time,...conference paper 2014

(author)In this research we describe the development of a common evaluation and benchmarking platform that has been developed within the framework of the European Union COST Action MULTITUDE. The main goal of this platform is to provide a testbed in which a number of algorithms can be implemented and tested under the same conditions. The objective is...conference paper 2014

Ardic, O. (author), Annema, J.A. (author), Molin, E.J.E. (author), Bolderdijk, J. (author)This study investigates the effect of exposure to news reported by newspapers about the Dutch road pricing proposal (Kilometerheffing) on public opinion. We combine data from a public opinion survey (N = 705) with a content analysis of 280 news articles about the pricing proposal published in five leading Dutch newspapers. Our findings indicate...conference paper 2014

Knoop, V.L. (author), De Jong, D.M. (author), Hoogendoorn, S.P. (author)The Macroscopic or Network Fundamental Diagram (NFD) describes the relationship between the network flow and the number of travellers within the network. The shape of the NFD is important for control purposes like perimeter control or routing. However, it is unknown how the network structure influences the shape of the NFD. This is studied in...conference paper 2014

Knoop, V.L. (author), Buisson, C. (author)This paper analyses methodologies to calibrate and validate probabilistic lane change models. We perform a calibration and validation on lane change models (microscopic and macroscopic) which take the most basic dependencies into account. The resulting model has reasonable parameters, and the goodness of fit for the validation set (hold back...conference paper 2014

Djukic, T. (author), Van Lint, J.W.C. (author), Hoogendoorn, S.P. (author)In previous work, we have explored the idea of dimensionality reduction and approximation of OD demand based on principal component analysis (PCA). In particular, we have shown how we can apply PCA to linearly transform the high dimensional OD matrices into the lower dimensional space without significant loss of accuracy. Next, we have defined a...conference paper 2014

Knoop, V.L. (author), Hoogendoorn, S.P. (author)New IT techniques allow communication and coordination between traffic measures. To best use this, one needs to coordinate over longer distances. Optimization of the measures is not possible using traditional microscopic or macroscopic simulation models. The Network Fundamental Diagram (NFD) describes the relation between flow and density on a...conference paper 2014

Van Wageningen-Kessels, F.L.M. (author), Van Lint, J.W.C. (author), Hoogendoorn, S.P. (author), Vuik, C. (author)We propose and analyze a generic multi-class kinematic wave traffic flow model: Fastlane. The model takes into account heterogeneity among driver-vehicle units with respect to speed and space occupancy: long vehicles with large headways (e.g. trucks) take more space than short vehicles with short headways (e.g. passenger cars). Moreover, and...conference paper 2014

Knoop, V.L. (author), Buisson, C. (author)Lane changes are important in traffic flow operations. They cause differences in flow over lanes and they may determine the onset of congestion. Therefore, it is relevant to have a lane change model for which the predictive power is confirmed. This article calibrates and validates a probabilistic discretionary lane change model, both...conference paper 2014

Knoop, V.L. (author), De Jong, D.M. (author), Hoogendoorn, S.P. (author)It is analyzed what the effect is of the exact network structure on the shape of the Network Fundamental Diagram (NFD). In order to do so, a tool is developed which can create random networks for which the aggregated properties are the same. Using this tool, different urban networks with the same properties are designed. They show different NFDs...conference paper 2014

Goni Ros, B. (author), Knoop, V.L. (author), Van Arem, B. (author), Hoogendoorn, S.P. (author)Sags are freeway sections along which the gradient changes significantly from downwards to upwards. The capacity of sags is significantly lower than the capacity of normal sections. As a result, sags often become bottlenecks in freeway networks, causing the formation of congestion in conditions of high traffic demand. Congestion results in a...conference paper 2014

Van Oort, N. (author), Brands, T. (author), De Romph, E. (author), Aceves Flores, J. (author)Nowadays, transport demand models do not explicitly evaluate the impacts of service reliability of transit. Service reliability of transit systems is adversely experienced by users, as it causes additional travel time and unsecure arrival times. Because of this, travelers are likely to perceive a higher utility from higher reliable transport...conference paper 2014
