Yuan, Y. (author), Goni Ros, B. (author), Bui, Ha H. (author), Daamen, W. (author), Vu, Hai L. (author), Hoogendoorn, S.P. (author)Macroscopic pedestrian models are theoretically simpler than microscopic models, and they can potentially be solved faster while producing reasonable predictions of crowd dynamics. Therefore, they can be very useful for applications such as large-scale simulation, real-time state estimation and crowd management. However, the numerical methods...journal article 2020

Ton, D. (author), Bekhor, Shlomo (author), Cats, O. (author), Duives, D.C. (author), Hoogendoorn-Lanser, S. (author), Hoogendoorn, S.P. (author)Active modes take up an increasingly important place on the global policy-making agenda. In the Netherlands, a country that is well-known for its high shares of walking and cycling, the government aims at achieving a modal shift among 200,000 commuting car drivers towards using the bicycle. To this end, policy measures need to be introduced....journal article 2020

Hanseler, F.S. (author), van den Heuvel, Jeroen P.A. (author), Cats, O. (author), Daamen, W. (author), Hoogendoorn, S.P. (author)We present a transit model that, based on automated fare collection and train tracking data, describes pedestrian movements in train stations and vehicle-specific train ridership distributions. Our approach differs from existing models in that we describe on-board passenger dynamics and pedestrian dynamics at stations in a joint framework. We...journal article 2020

Narayan S., Jishnu (author), Cats, O. (author), van Oort, N. (author), Hoogendoorn, S.P. (author)The recent emergence of innovative mobility solutions is changing the mobility landscape in urban areas. However, it remains unknown how the combined operation of private and pooled on-demand services affect service performance and the required dimensioning of the fleet size for such services. This study develops a model to determine the...journal article 2020

van Oijen, T.P. (author), Daamen, W. (author), Hoogendoorn, S.P. (author)This paper describes a method to estimate the parameters of a Recursive link-based Logit model (RL) using measurements of a set of spatially fixed proximity sensors, with limited hit rates, which can uniquely identify people, such as Wi-Fi-, RFID- or Bluetooth-sensors. The observed ‘route’ of an individual, where we focus on pedestrians in an...journal article 2020

Duives, D.C. (author), van Oijen, T.P. (author), Hoogendoorn, S.P. (author)Crowd monitoring systems (CMSs) provide a state-of-the-art solution to manage crowds objectively. Most crowd monitoring systems feature one type of sensor, which severely limits the insights one can simultaneously gather regarding the crowd’s traffic state. Incorporating multiple functionally complementary sensor types is expensive. CMSs are...journal article 2020

van Erp, P.B.C. (author), Knoop, V.L. (author), Hoogendoorn, S.P. (author)Traffic flow can be described using three dimensions, i.e., space x, time t and cumulative flow N. This study considers estimating the cumulative flow over space and time, i.e., N(x,t), using relative flow data collected by stationary and moving observers. Stationary observers, e.g., loop-detectors, can observe flow at fixed position over...journal article 2020

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 downward to upward. The capacity of sags is considerably lower than the capacity of normal sections. Consequently, sags are often freeway bottlenecks. Recently, several control measures have been proposed to improve traffic flow efficiency at sags. Those measures...journal article 2019

Bellsola Olba, X. (author), Daamen, W. (author), Vellinga, T. (author), Hoogendoorn, S.P. (author)Ports represent a key element in the maritime transportation chain. Larger vessels and higher traffic volumes in ports might result in higher risks at the navigational level. Thus, the dire need for a comprehensive and efficient risk assessment method for ports is felt. Many methodologies have been proposed so far, but their application to...journal article 2019

(author)Everyday people find their way towards work, supermarkets, or unfamiliar places are explored for a social visit. Understanding how differences in urban wayfinding behaviour relate to daily travel patterns is important to describe route choice behaviour, identify potential navigation problems, design more legible cities, and provide...journal article 2019

van de Weg, Goof Sterk (author), Hegyi, A. (author), Hoogendoorn, S.P. (author), De Schutter, B.H.K. (author)Freeway congestion can reduce the freeway throughput due to the capacity drop or due to blocking caused by spillback to upstream ramps. Research has shown that congestion can be reduced by the application of ramp metering and variable speed limits. Model predictive control is a promising strategy for the optimization of the ramp metering...journal article 2019

Ton, D. (author), Duives, D.C. (author), Cats, O. (author), Hoogendoorn-Lanser, S. (author), Hoogendoorn, S.P. (author)Interest into active modes (i.e. walking and cycling) has increased significantly over the past decades, with governments worldwide ultimately aiming for a modal shift towards active modes. To devise policies that promote this goal, understanding the determinants that influence the choice for an active mode is essential. The Netherlands is...journal article 2019

Yap, M.D. (author), Luo, D. (author), Cats, O. (author), van Oort, N. (author), Hoogendoorn, S.P. (author)Minimizing passenger transfer times through public transport (PT) transfer synchronization is important during tactical planning and real-time control. However, there are computational challenges for solving this Timetable Synchronization Problem (TSP) for large, real-world urban PT networks. Hence, in this study we propose a data-driven,...journal article 2019

Dixit, M. (author), Brands, T. (author), van Oort, N. (author), Cats, O. (author), Hoogendoorn, S.P. (author)Urban transit networks typically consist of multiple modes and the journeys may involve a transfer within or across modes. Therefore, the passenger experience of travel time reliability is based on the whole journey experience including the transfers. Although the impact of transfers on reliability has been highlighted in the literature, the...journal article 2019
