Narayan S., Jishnu (author), Cats, O. (author), van Oort, N. (author), Hoogendoorn, S.P. (author)The emergence of on-demand transport services is set to change the mobility landscape in urban areas. This study investigates the potential scalability of an on-demand mobility system to substitute motorised trips performed by private cars and public transport in Amsterdam, The Netherlands. We adopt an agent-based simulation framework and...journal article 2021

de Haas, M.C. (author), Kroesen, M. (author), Chorus, C.G. (author), Hoogendoorn-Lanser, S. (author), Hoogendoorn, S.P. (author)In recent years, the e-bike has become increasingly popular in many European countries. With higher speeds and less effort needed, the e-bike is a promising mode of transport to many, and it is considered a good alternative for certain car trips by policy-makers and planners. A major limitation of many studies that investigate such...journal article 2021

Durand, A.L.M. (author), Zijlstra, Toon (author), van Oort, N. (author), Hoogendoorn-Lanser, S. (author), Hoogendoorn, S.P. (author)Digitalisation in transport services offers many benefits for travellers. However, not everyone is willing or able to follow the new, more or less formal requirements digitalisation has brought along. Existing reviews on the intersection between Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) and mobility cover a range of vantage points,...journal article 2021

de Haas, M.C. (author), Kroesen, M. (author), Chorus, C.G. (author), Hoogendoorn-Lanser, S. (author), Hoogendoorn, S.P. (author)Introduction: It has been estimated that physical inactivity accounts for roughly 10% of premature mortality globally in any given year. Active travel (walking and cycling) has been promoted as an effective means to stimulate physical activity. However, many of the available studies on the relation between active travel and health are based...journal article 2021

Hoogendoorn, S.P. (author), Gavriilidou, A. (author), Daamen, W. (author), Duives, D.C. (author)This paper presents a novel microscopic modelling framework for bicycle flow operations. The modelling principles are based on similar principles successfully applied in our previous work on pedestrian and vessel flow. The main contributions of the paper are in the extension towards modelling cyclists that has not been proposed in literature...journal article 2021

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

Dixit, M. (author), Chowdhury, S.J. (author), Cats, O. (author), Brands, T. (author), van Oort, N. (author), Hoogendoorn, S.P. (author)Circuity of transit networks, defined as the ratio of network to Euclidean distance traveled from origin to destination stop, has been known to influence travel behavior. In addition to the longer time spent in travel, for networks where fare is based on distance traveled, higher circuity also means higher fare for the same Euclidean distance...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

Sun, Shi (author), Sun, Cheng (author), Duives, D.C. (author), Hoogendoorn, S.P. (author)Commercial areas, especially urban ones with numerous buildings, are becoming increasingly prone to congestion because of their popularity. Visual inspections show that interactions between pedestrians and building entrances affect the distribution of pedestrian trajectories, which influences the utility of pedestrian spaces and the design of...journal article 2021

(author)Simulation studies suggest that pooled on-demand services (also referred to as ridesplitting or shared ride-hailing/ridesourcing services) have the potential to bring large benefits to urban areas with little time loss for their users. However, the large majority of on-demand requests in existing services are for individual rides. In this study,...other 2020

Bronsvoort, K.A. (author), Alonso González, M.J. (author), van Oort, N. (author), Molin, E.J.E. (author), Hoogendoorn, S.P. (author)Public transport in rural areas is under pressure because demand is low and dispersed. To reduce costs, flexible and on-demand services are often proposed as alternatives for conventional bus services. Conventional services are generally not suitable for rural areas, because the demand is low and dispersed. In this paper, a stated-preference...other 2020

van Erp, P.B.C. (author), Knoop, V.L. (author), Hoogendoorn, S.P. (author)Traffic flow can be described using three dimensions, i.e., space x, time t and cumulative flow N.

Stationary observers, e.g., loop-detectors, can observe flow at fixed position over...journal article 2020
