Luo, D. (author), Cats, O. (author), van Lint, J.W.C. (author), Currie, Graham (author)Network science offers powerful concepts and methods for studying complex systems, such as public transport networks. However, many existing studies on complex network analysis of public transport networks were primarily motivated to test network science concepts using real-life networks. Consequently, important properties related to public...journal article 2019

Hirschhorn, Fabio (author), Paulsson, Alexander (author), Hedegaard Sørensen, Claus (author), Veeneman, Wijnand (author)This paper examines governance responses to Mobility as a Service (MaaS). The analysis focuses on the interactions between public transport systems and MaaS developments in Amsterdam, Birmingham, and Helsinki. Case comparison is informed by the multilevel perspective on socio-technical transitions and literature on meta-governance of networks....journal article 2019

Abenoza, Roberto F. (author), Cats, O. (author), Susilo, Yusak O. (author)Classifying public transport service attributes based on their influence on overall traveler satisfaction can assist stakeholders and practitioners in introducing cost-efficient measures. To date most studies employed methods that were based on the assumption that the impact of service attributes on traveler satisfaction is entirely linear...journal article 2019

Malandri, Caterina (author), Fonzone, Achille (author), Cats, O. (author)We propose a method to evaluate public transport network vulnerability. We study the evolution of the passenger Volume Over Capacity (VOC) ratio throughout the network to measure the spatial and temporal extent of the impacts caused by an unplanned service segment disruption. The VOC ratio provides an indication of the on-board travel comfort...journal article 2018

Boersma, A.M. (author), van Arem, B. (author), Rieck, Frank (author)This paper reports on the application of electric automated vehicles in the city of Appelscha, The Netherlands. Appelscha is challenged with a predicted decline of inhabitants and an already shrinking public transport network. To preserve the region's accessibility, the municipality started a pilot with electric automated vehicles. These...journal article 2018

Gavriilidou, A. (author), Cats, O. (author)Real-time holding control strategies are implemented, among other reasons, in order to protect transfers. In the context of high-frequency services, there is a need to reconcile between striving for single-line regularity and synchronizing inter-line arrivals. Their operationalization depends on the predictions regarding passenger flows...journal article 2018

Abenoza, Roberto F. (author), Cats, O. (author), Susilo, Yusak O. (author)Understanding how satisfaction with individual trip legs aggregates to the overall travel experience for different types of trips will enable the identification of the trip legs that are most impactful. For this purpose we analyze data on retrospective evaluations of entire multi-modal trip experiences and satisfaction with individual trip...journal article 2018

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. (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

Hirschhorn, Fabio (author), Veeneman, Wijnand (author), van de Velde, Didier (author)This paper contributes to the discussion on the ways organisational form of public transport systems may influence its performance. A worldwide Delphi survey with experts in the field is presented. After a three-stage iterative process interspersing questionnaires and controlled feedback the survey produces authoritative inventories and...journal article 2018

Veeneman, Wijnand (author)In 2001, competitive tendering was introduced for most concessions in the Netherlands, to be carried out by regional authorities. These authorities received a great deal of freedom to implement the tendering in the way they saw fit. Over the years, issues arose that challenged the effectiveness of the tendering approaches. For example,...journal article 2018

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
