Ashkrof, P. (author), Correia, Gonçalo (author), Cats, O. (author), van Arem, B. (author)The performance of ride-sourcing services such as Uber and Lyft is determined by the collective choices of individual drivers who are not only chauffeurs but private fleet providers. In such a context, ride-sourcing drivers are free to decide whether to accept or decline ride requests assigned by the ride-hailing platform. Drivers’ ride...journal article 2022

de Ruijter, A.J.F. (author), Cats, O. (author), Kucharski, R.M. (author), van Lint, J.W.C. (author)Contrary to traditional transit services, supply in ridesourcing systems emerges from individual labour decisions of gig workers. The effect of decentralisation in supply on the evolution of on-demand transit services is largely unknown. To this end, we propose a dynamic model comprising of the subsequent supply-side processes: (i) initial...journal article 2022

Tirachini, Alejandro (author), Cats, O. (author)The COVID-19 pandemic poses a great challenge for contemporary public transportation worldwide, resulting from an unprecedented decline in demand and revenue. In this paper, we synthesize the state-of-the-art, up to early June 2020, on key developments regarding public transportation and the COVID-19 pandemic, including the different...journal article 2020

Luo, D. (author), Cats, O. (author), van Lint, J.W.C. (author)We present a pioneering investigation into the relation between passenger flow distribution and network properties in public transport systems. The methodology is designed in a reverse engineering fashion by utilizing passively measured passenger flow dynamics over the entire network. We quantify the properties of public transport networks using...journal article 2019

van der Werff, Ellen (author), van Oort, N. (author), Cats, O. (author), Hoogendoorn, S.P. (author)Reliability is a key determinant of the quality of a transit service. Control is needed to deal with the stochastic nature of high-frequency bus services and to improve service reliability. This study focuses on holding control, both schedule- and headway-based strategies. An assessment framework is developed to systematically assess the effect...journal article 2019

Cats, O. (author)The structure of transport networks is the outcome of a large number of infrastructure investment decisions taken over a long time span. Network indicators are widely used for characterizing transport network topology and its performance as well as provide insights on possible developments. Little is known however on how rail bound public...journal article 2017

Alonso González, M.J. (author), van Oort, N. (author), Cats, O. (author), Hoogendoorn, S.P. (author)Mobility as a Service (MaaS) is entering the transportation market. MaaS aims at the full integration of the existing transportation services and it offers tailored mobility packages to the user. In MaaS ecosystems, on-demand services play an important role as complement to public transport due to their flexibility. However, to date, most...conference paper 2017
