Reggiani, G. (author), van Oijen, T.P. (author), Hamedmoghadam, Homayoun (author), Daamen, W. (author), Vu, Hai L. (author), Hoogendoorn, S.P. (author)A fully separated bicycle network from vehicular traffic is not realistic even for the most bicycle-friendly cities. Thus, all around the world urban cycling entails switching between streets of different safety, convenience, and comfort levels. As a consequence, the quality of bicycle networks should be evaluated not based on one but multiple...journal article 2021

Gong, X. (author), Daamen, W. (author), Bozzon, A. (author), Hoogendoorn, S.P. (author)City events are getting popular and are attracting a large number of people. This increase needs for methods and tools to provide stakeholders with crowd size information for crowd management purposes. Previous works proposed a large number of methods to count the crowd using different data in various contexts, but no methods proposed using...journal article 2021

Trip chaining of bicycle and car commuters: An empirical analysis of detours to secondary activitiesSchneider, F. (author), Daamen, W. (author), Hoogendoorn, S.P. (author)A largely overlooked mode choice factor of cycling is the mode-dependent capability of visiting several activity locations within a trip chain. Due to the bicycle’s limited reach in comparison to the car, this capability can be increased by urban environments that facilitate trip chaining by bicycle. In the present paper, we empirically study...journal article 2021

(author)This paper studies the relationship between trip chain complexity and daily travel behaviour of travellers. While trip chain complexity is conventionally investigated between travel modes, our scope is the more aggregated level of a person’s activity-travel pattern. Using data from the Netherlands Mobility Panel, a latent class cluster...journal article 2020

Ramos, G.M. (author), Mai, Tien (author), Daamen, W. (author), Frejinger, Emma (author), Hoogendoorn, S.P. (author)Travel information has the potential to influence travellers choices, in order to steer travellers to less congested routes and alleviate congestion. This paper investigates, on the one hand, how travel information affects route choice behaviour, and on the other hand, the impact of the travel time representation on the interpretation of...journal article 2020

Gong, X. (author), Daamen, W. (author), Bozzon, A. (author), Hoogendoorn, S.P. (author)Large-scale events are becoming more frequent in contemporary cities, increasing the need for novel methods and tools that can provide relevant stakeholders with quantitative and qualitative insights about attendees’ characteristics. In this work, we investigate how social media can be used to provide such insights. First, we screen a set of...journal article 2020

Zhou, Y. (author), Daamen, W. (author), Vellinga, T. (author), Hoogendoorn, S.P. (author)In ports and waterways, the impacts of external navigational factors may lead to serious incidents due to limited space for ship maneuvering. Using nautical traffic models, these incidents can be predicted in advance. In current studies of nautical traffic models, the impacts of wind and current on ship behavior are seldom considered when...journal article 2020

AMSense: How Mobile Sensing Platforms Capture Pedestrian/Cyclist Spatiotemporal Properties in CitiesVial, A.A. (author), Daamen, W. (author), Ding, Aaron Yi (author), van Arem, B. (author), Hoogendoorn, S.P. (author)We present a design for a novel mobile sensing system (AMSense) that uses vehicles as mobile sensing nodes in a network to capture spatiotemporal properties of pedestrians and cyclists (active modes) in urban environments. In this dynamic, multi-sensor approach, real-time data, algorithms, and models are fused to estimate presence, positions and...journal article 2020

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

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

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

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
