Winter, M.K.E. (author), Cats, O. (author), Martens, Karel (author), van Arem, B. (author)New forms of shared mobility such as free-floating car-sharing services and shared automated vehicles have the potential to change urban travel behaviour. In this paper, we identify potential user classes for these new modes. For this, a stated choice experiment on mode choice among a sample of the Dutch urban population has been conducted,...journal article 2020

Alonso González, M.J. (author), Hoogendoorn-Lanser, Sascha (author), van Oort, N. (author), Cats, O. (author), Hoogendoorn, S.P. (author)Mobility as a Service (MaaS) is expected to significantly change mobility patterns, yet it is still not clear who will embrace this new mobility paradigm and how MaaS will impact passengers’ transportation. In the paper, we identify factors relevant for MaaS adoption based on a survey comprised of over thousand respondents in the Netherlands....journal article 2020

Cats, O. (author), Vermeulen, A.A.J. (author), Warnier, Martijn (author), van Lint, J.W.C. (author)The development of metropolitan public transport networks often involves choosing between investing in extending radial lines or constructing ring connections. While the former enlarges network coverage the latter enhances network connectivity and reduces the need to perform detours. Moreover, investments might be better directed at...journal article 2020

Molin, E.J.E. (author), Adjenughwure, Kingsley (author), de Bruyn, Menno (author), Cats, O. (author), Warffemius, Pim (author)Many studies about conducting activities while traveling start from the hypothesis that conducting onboard activities reduces the value of time (VoT). However, surprisingly limited empirical evidence is provided for this hypothesis. The few studies that aim at providing this evidence face methodological problems in the sense that effects...journal article 2020

Drabicki, Arkadiusz (author), Kucharski, R.M. (author), Cats, O. (author), Szarata, Andrzej (author)Public transport (PT) overcrowding is a notorious problem in urban transport networks. Its negative effects upon travel experience can be potentially addressed by disseminating real-time crowding information (RTCI) to passengers. However, impacts of RTCI provision in urban PT networks remain largely unknown. This study aims to contribute by...journal article 2020

Coutinho, Felipe Mariz (author), van Oort, N. (author), Christoforou, Zoi (author), Alonso González, M.J. (author), Cats, O. (author), Hoogendoorn, S.P. (author)The diffusion of the smartphone and the urban sprawl is pushing both private and public actors to revisit the concept of demand-responsive transport (DRT). This paper provides a historical overview of DRT experiences, understanding their pros and cons. In addition, it presents the case study of Mokumflex, a 12-month DRT pilot program that...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

Kucharski, R.M. (author), Fielbaum, Andres (author), Alonso-Mora, J. (author), Cats, O. (author)Sharing rides in on-demand systems allow passengers to reduce their fares and service providers to increase revenue, though at the cost of adding uncertainty to the system. Notably, the uncertainty of ride-pooling systems stems not only from travel times but also from unique features of sharing, such as the dependency on other passengers'...journal article 2020

Rubensson, Isak (author), Susilo, Yusak (author), Cats, O. (author)A fair distribution of public transport benefits is a commonly stated goal of agencies and operators of public transport. However, it is less complicated and costly to provide accessibility in some parts of cities and their surroundings than in other parts. Densely populated areas, and areas situated closer to the city center therefore often...journal article 2020

Krishnakumari, P.K. (author), van Lint, J.W.C. (author), Djukic, T. (author), Cats, O. (author)The fundamental challenge of the origin-destination (OD) matrix estimation problem is that it is severely under-determined. In this paper we propose a new data driven OD estimation method for cases where a supply pattern in the form of speeds and flows is available. We show that with these input data, we do not require an iterative dynamic...journal article 2020

Cats, O. (author), Krishnakumari, P.K. (author), Tundulyasaree, Krissada (author)In large-scale urban agglomerations, heavy rail in the form of metro and commuter train serves as the backbone of the metropolitan public transport network. Transport systems are subject to recurrent disruptions that may result in severe consequences for network performance and society at large. The objective of this paper is to compare the...conference paper 2019

However, the extent to which individuals are willing to share remains largely unknown. By means of a stated preference experiment, this study analyses the WTS of respondents by comparing their preferences towards...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
