Kholodov, Yaroslav (author), Jenelius, Erik (author), Cats, O. (author), van Oort, N. (author), Mouter, N. (author), Cebecauer, Matej (author), Vermeulen, A.A.J. (author)This paper develops a method for analysing the elasticity of travel demand to public transport fares. The methodology utilizes public transport smartcard data for collecting disaggregate full population data about passengers’ travel behaviour. The study extends previous work by deriving specific fare elasticities for distinct socioeconomic (e...journal article 2021

Hatzenbühler, Jonas (author), Cats, O. (author), Jenelius, Erik (author)The maturing of autonomous driving technology in recent years has led to several pilot projects and the initial integration of autonomous pods and buses into the public transport (PT) system. An emerging field of interest is the design of public transport networks operating autonomous buses and the potential to attract higher levels of travel...journal article 2021

van Wee, G.P. (author)Accessibility by distinguished transport modes is probably the most important concept in transport geography and transport planning: it expresses that the transport system aims to provide access to places where people want to carry out activities. But it is also a concept for which many definitions and indicators are available, each...book chapter 2021

Rubensson, Isak (author), Susilo, Yusak (author), Cats, O. (author)When Public Transport Administrations propose changes in fare schemes or increased fares, they are often met with concerns regarding the proposed fare schemes fairness. Implicit in these concerns is an understanding of relations governing land use and public transport, impacting equity. In this paper, we use socio-economic statistics of...journal article 2020

Chowdhury, S.J. (author), van Wee, G.P. (author)In many cities, public transport has a higher ridership level from women compared to men, yet most systems are not designed for them. Many female riders fear of being a victim. Most of their negative experiences are usually associated with the urban environment in and around stations/stops. Integrated public transport systems will require...journal article 2020

Hirschhorn, Fabio (author), van de Velde, Didier (author), Veeneman, Wijnand (author), ten Heuvelhof, E.F. (author)Public authorities are under mounting pressure to promote more sustainable urban mobility, including a modal shift from cars. With an empirical focus on Oslo and Amsterdam metropolitan areas, this paper analyses how the interplay between formal frameworks, informal institutions, and individuals’ agency can contribute to making public transport...journal article 2020

Peftitsi, Soumela (author), Jenelius, Erik (author), Cats, O. (author)We propose a methodology based on multiple automated data sources for evaluating the effects of station layout, arriving traveler flows, and platform and on-board crowding on the distribution of boarding passengers among individual cars of metro trains. The methodology is applied to a case study for a sequence of stations in the Stockholm...journal article 2020

Narayan S., Jishnu (author), Cats, O. (author), van Oort, N. (author), Hoogendoorn, S.P. (author)The recent technological innovations in various ICT platforms have given rise to innovative mobility solutions. Such systems could potentially address some of the inherent shortcomings of a line/schedule based public transport system. Previous studies either assumed that flexible on-demand services are used as an exclusive door-to-door...journal article 2020

Szymula, Christopher (author), Bešinović, Nikola (author)The performance and behaviour of critical infrastructure in case of disruptions is an important topic and we are still lacking of insights. Due to disruptions, infrastructure becomes unavailable and may force the trains and passengers to adapt. In this paper, we introduce a problem of railway network vulnerability from the perspective of...journal article 2020

Yap, M.D. (author), Cats, O. (author)Disruptions in public transport can have major implications for passengers and service providers. Our study objective is to develop a generic approach to predict how often different disruption types occur at different stations of a public transport network, and to predict the impact related to these disruptions as measured in terms of...journal article 2020

Kucharski, R.M. (author), Cats, O. (author)The premise of ride-sharing is that service providers can offer a discount, so that travellers are compensated for prolonged travel times and induced discomfort, while still increasing their revenues. While recently proposed real-time solutions support online operations, algorithms to perform strategic system-wide evaluations are crucially...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

Degeler, V. (author), Heydenrijk-Ottens, L.J.C. (author), Luo, D. (author), van Oort, N. (author), van Lint, J.W.C. (author)We perform an analysis of public transport data from The Hague, the Netherlands, combined from three sources: static network information, automatic vehicles location and automated fare collection data. We highlight the effect of bunching swings, and show that this phenomenon can be extracted using unsupervised machine learning techniques,...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

van de Velde, Didier (author)This thesis finds its origins in the debates that developed in the 1980s in Western Europe as to the role competition and private entrepreneurship should play in the provision of public transport services. At the time, observation of the debates showed there was widespread misunderstanding about the institutional changes put in place and the...doctoral thesis 2019

van de Velde, Didier (author)Splitsing van het spoorbedrijf in een vervoers- en infrastructuurbedrijf wordt vaak als noodzakelijk voor eerlijke concurrentie op het spoor gezien. Aan zo’n splitsing kleven echter ook nadelen en er zijn andere concurrentiegerichte hervormingen. Een verkenning van de alternatieven.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
