Li, G. (author), Knoop, V.L. (author), van Lint, J.W.C. (author)Traffic condition forecasting is fundamental for Intelligent Transportation Systems. Besides accuracy, many services require an estimate of uncertainty for each prediction. Uncertainty quantification must consider the inherent randomness in traffic dynamics, the so-called aleatoric uncertainty, and the additional distrust caused by data shortage...journal article 2024

Li, G. (author), Li, Zirui (author), Knoop, V.L. (author), van Lint, J.W.C. (author)Predicting the trajectories of road agents is fundamental for self-driving cars. Trajectory prediction contains many sources of uncertainty in data and modelling. A thorough understanding of this uncertainty is crucial in a safety-critical task like auto-piloting a vehicle. In practice, it is necessary to distinguish between the uncertainty...journal article 2024

Wang, Z. (author), Krishnakumari, P.K. (author), Anupam, K. (author), van Lint, J.W.C. (author), Erkens, S. (author)The relationship between real-world traffic and pavement raveling is unclear and subject to ongoing debates. This research proposes a novel approach that extends beyond traditional correlation analyses to explore causal mechanisms between mixed traffic and raveling. This approach incorporates the causal discovery method, and is applied to...journal article 2024

de Ruijter, A.J.F. (author), Cats, O. (author), van Lint, J.W.C. (author)Limited available market share data seems to suggest that ridesourcing platforms benefit from, even thrive on, socio-economic inequality. We suspect that this is associated with high levels of socio-economic inequality allowing for cheap labour as well as increasing the share of travellers with a considerably above-average willingness to pay...journal article 2024

Spierenburg, L.J. (author), van Lint, J.W.C. (author), van Oort, N. (author)Enabling cycling at the home side or at the activity side of transit trips has been recognized as a promising solution to address transit network discrepancies and enhance connectivity between residents and employment opportunities. However, this multimodal solution is conditional to bicycle parking and cycle lanes, and urban planners need...journal article 2024

Zhang, H. (author), Fu, Rui (author), Wang, Jianqiang (author), Calvert, S.C. (author), van Lint, J.W.C. (author)The in-vehicle communication provides promising opportunities to improve the road safety and traffic efficiency. Previous studies demonstrated that the professional drivers have better driving skills than the non-professional drivers who allocate more attention to secondary tasks. However, they may not be sensitive to the new in-vehicle...journal article 2024

Li, G. (author), Li, Zirui (author), Knoop, V.L. (author), van Lint, J.W.C. (author)Resolving predicted conflicts is vital for safe and efficient autonomous vehicles (AV). In practice, vehicular motion prediction faces inherent uncertainty due to heterogeneous driving behaviours and environments. This spatial uncertainty increases non-linearly with prediction time horizons, leading AVs to perceive more road space occupied by...journal article 2024

Jiao, Y. (author), Li, G. (author), Calvert, S.C. (author), van Cranenburgh, S. (author), van Lint, J.W.C. (author)Integrating Automated Vehicles (AVs) into existing traffic systems holds the promise of enhanced road safety, reduced congestion, and more sustainable travel. Effective integration of AVs requires understanding the interactions between AVs and Human-driving Vehicles (HVs), especially during the transition period in which AVs and HVs coexist...journal article 2024

Li, G. (author), Jiao, Y. (author), Knoop, V.L. (author), Calvert, S.C. (author), van Lint, J.W.C. (author)Car-Following (CF), as a fundamental driving behaviour, has significant influences on the safety and efficiency of traffic flow. Investigating how human drivers react differently when following autonomous vs. human-driven vehicles (HV) is thus critical for mixed traffic flow. Research in this field can be expedited with trajectory datasets...conference paper 2023

Verkaik-Poelman, M.C. (author), Hegyi, A. (author), Verbraeck, A. (author), van Lint, J.W.C. (author)Model-based predictive signal control is a popular method to pro-actively control traffic and to reduce the effects of congestion in urban networks. In combination with structure-free controllers, which adapt signal settings in arbitrary order and combination (no imposed cycles), these predictive control methods have a high potential to...journal article 2023

Jiao, Y. (author), Calvert, S.C. (author), van Cranenburgh, S. (author), van Lint, J.W.C. (author)This study presents a new method to infer the average two-dimensional (2D) spacing between interacting vehicles in urban traffic from trajectory data. In this context, 2D spacing reflects the amount of road space consumed by pairs of interacting vehicles, and is related to 2D density at the macroscopic level. Due to complex interaction and...journal article 2023

Eftekhar, Z. (author), Pel, A.J. (author), van Lint, J.W.C. (author)Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM) data provides valuable insights into travel demand patterns by capturing people's consecutive locations. A major challenge, however, is how the polling interval (PI; the time between consecutive location updates) affects the accuracy in reconstructing the spatio-temporal travel patterns. Longer...journal article 2023

Eftekhar, Z. (author), Pel, A.J. (author), van Lint, J.W.C. (author)This paper explores temporal patterns in travel production using a full month of production data from traffic analysis zones (TAZ) in the (entire) Netherlands. The mentioned data is a processed aggregated derivative (due to pr ivacy concerns) from GSM traces of a Dutch telecommunication company. This research thus also sheds light on whether...journal article 2023
