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

Sparnaaij, M. (author), Duives, D.C. (author), Hoogendoorn, S.P. (author)Rotating ones body is a strategy pedestrians commonly use to avoid collisions. Even though this behaviour impacts capacity heavily, this rotation behaviour is seldomly studied. This research aims to increase insight into rotation behaviour of pedestrians in high density bidirectional and crossing flows. Based on data from the CrowdLimits...conference paper 2020

Reggiani, G. (author), Dabiri, A. (author), Daamen, W. (author), Hoogendoorn, S.P. (author)A tool for travel time estimation of cyclists approaching a traffic light can monitor level of service of intersections in bike crowded cities. This work represents a first step in developing such a tool. Neural Network models are evaluated on how they perform in estimating individual travel time of cyclists approaching a signalized...conference paper 2020

Feng, Y. (author), Duives, D.C. (author), Hoogendoorn, S.P. (author)This paper presents a Virtual Reality (VR) experiment to study pedestrian exit choice behavior during evacuations. It investigates whether and to what extent different types of guidance information (i.e. exit signs and directional signs) influence pedestrian exit choice during an evacuation (drill). The analysis focuses on the commonalities...conference paper 2020

Knoop, V.L. (author), Hanseler, F.S. (author), Wierbos, M.J. (author), Gavriilidou, A. (author), Daamen, W. (author), Hoogendoorn, S.P. (author)Density is one of the most relevant variables in a traffic flow description. For objects in 2 dimensions, density can be determined by the space that is allocated to each of the objects. This paper introduces a new way of computing the space available for a bicyclist, accounting for speed and accounting for the non-zero size of a bicycle. This...conference paper 2020

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

Narayan S., Jishnu (author), Cats, O. (author), van Oort, N. (author), Hoogendoorn, S.P. (author)The emergence of innovative mobility services, is changing the way people travel in urban areas. Such systems offer on-demand service (door-To-door or stop-To-stop, individual or shared) to passengers. In addition to providing flexible services to passengers, past studies suggested that such services could effectively absorb the demand for...conference paper 2019

Rijsman, Lotte (author), van Oort, N. (author), Ton, D. (author), Hoogendoorn, S.P. (author), Molin, E.J.E. (author), Teijl, Thomas (author)Pollution and congestion are important issues in urban mobility. These can potentially be solved by multimodal transport, such as the bicycle-Transit combination, which benefits from the flexible aspect of the bicycle and the wider spatial range of public transport. In addition, the bicycle can increase the catchment areas of public transport...conference paper 2019

Imran, Aishah Mahyarni (author), van Oort, N. (author), Cats, O. (author), Hoogendoorn, S.P. (author), Van Der Pot, Pieter (author)Vehicle bunching often occurs in high-frequency transit systems leading to deterioration of service reliability. It is thus necessary to control vehicles during operations. Holding control is a common solution for this situation, but it may result in longer vehicle running times. Speed adjustments can contribute to more regular operations...conference paper 2019

Knoop, V.L. (author), Taale, Henk (author), Meulenberg, Michel (author), van Erp, P.B.C. (author), Hoogendoorn, S.P. (author)Demand exceeding the capacity of a bottleneck will create congestion upstream of that bottleneck. Once this congestion occurs, the maximum flow through this bottleneck decreases (capacity drop). By limiting the flow towards the bottleneck, one can prevent or postpone the capacity drop and the accompanying congestion. In case the bottleneck is...conference paper 2019
