Theuwissen, E.A. (author), Schepers, Paul (author), Daamen, W. (author), Hagenzieker, Marjan (author), Nabavi, Martin (author)Cycling contributes to public health because it requires physical effort [1] and offers economic and environmental advantages over motorized transport [2]. However, 41,000 cyclists die every year in traffic crashes, 3% of the total worldwide [3]. Most fatal bicycle crashes are collisions with motor vehicles. Severe injuries among cyclists,...conference paper 2022

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

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

Gavriilidou, A. (author), Pardini Susacasa, Laura (author), Reddy, N. (author), Daamen, W. (author)Due to the increasing use of the bicycle as access and egress mode to public transport hubs, bicycle parking facilities are being constructed and extended. The provision of appropriate infrastructure requires the understanding of the needs and preferences of the cyclists. In order to gain insights into the parking spot choices of the cyclists,...conference paper 2020

(author)The Urban Mobility Observatory (UMO) will gather, store, and disseminate empirical multi-modal traffic, transport and mobility data, using a well-balanced set of innovative data collection methods. It will make these comprehensive data available for scientific research to develop and test new theories and models to better understand, predict and...conference paper 2020

Feng, Y. (author), Duives, D.C. (author), Daamen, W. (author), Hoogendoorn, S.P. (author)Understanding pedestrian exit choice behavior during emergency situations is important for improving evacuation efficiency. Virtual Reality is a promising technique that can be used to study pedestrian evacuation behavior. However, studies comparing evacuation behavior in real and virtual environments are still scarce. This paper explores...conference paper 2019

Daamen, W. (author), van den Heuvel, Jeroen P.A. (author), Knoop, V.L. (author), Hoogendoorn, S.P. (author)The macroscopic fundamental diagram (MFD) relates the flow, density and speed of an entire network. So far, the MFD has been mostly applied to cases where pedestrians and vehicles were aiming to reach their destinations as fast as possible. However, pedestrian facilities involve different behaviours. Especially in train stations, travellers...conference paper 2019

Shelat, S. (author), Daamen, W. (author), Duives, D.C. (author), Hoogendoorn, S.P. (author)As the number of people working in office buildings increases, there is an urgent need to improve building services, such as lighting and temperature control, within these buildings to increase energy efficiency and well-being of occupants. A pedestrian behaviour model that simulates office occupants’ movements and locations can provide the high...conference paper 2018

Zhou, Y. (author), Daamen, W. (author), Vellinga, T. (author), Hoogendoorn, S.P. (author)Due to the increasing ship traffic flow in ports, maritime traffic safety has attracted much atten-tion. In addition to traffic flow, the ship safety in restricted waters is influenced by external navigational fac-tors (visibility, wind and current), encounter situations and human factors on board. In this paper, we investi-gate the effect of...conference paper 2017

Duives, D.C. (author), Daamen, W. (author), Hoogendoorn, S.P.

This paper investigates the influence of the interaction characteristics on...conference paper 2016

Daamen, W. (author), Yuan, Y. (author), Duives, D.C. (author), Hoogendoorn, S.P. (author)Nowadays, many large scale events are organised in urban areas that are not designed to accomodate these large visitor flows, as not only the sheer number of people is larger than anticipated, but also their behaviour is different. For a timely deployment of crowd management measures, continuous information on the real-time traffic state on the...conference paper 2016

(author)This contribution puts forward a flexible approach to model the decision-making or design controller for automated driving systems, where tactical-level lane change decisions and control-level accelerations are jointly evaluated based on iteratively solving an online optimization problem. The key idea is that automated vehicles determine lane...conference paper 2016

In this contribution, we focus on the problem of distinguishing travel time from the time people spend performing activities (e.g. fuelling the car, standing still to watch the scenery, buying a train ticket).

In a recent study, four distinct lane change strategies on freeways have been empirically found: (1) Speed Leading; (2) Speed Leading with Overtaking; (3) Lane Leading; (4) Traffic Leading. To the best of our...conference paper 2015
