Compared to traditional public transport, ride-hailing makes it possible for people to get a more comfortable and faster riding experience with a higher fare. Ride-sharing fall in between the two, offering a discount at the price level of ride-hailing, yet operates with more detours and less comfortable experience. In this study, with different...

The Ministry of Infrastructure and Water Management looks into the possibility of raising the awareness of Dutch citizens as policy measure to encourage travellers to travel in a more conscious and more climate-friendly manner. Scientific literature, however, shows contradictory results on the effectiveness of this measure. An ongoing academic...

Free-floating moped sharing systems are becoming more and more popular and provide new ways to travel inside urban areas. The vehicles offer the flexibility of one-way transportation, though the downside is that it creates a spatiotemporal imbalance of the vehicle distribution within the system. The operators of such systems are challenged to...

Ride-pooling is a key concept for the future of human mobility and vital in the roll-out of Mobility-as-a-Service (MaaS). Pooling allows individuals to travel at a reduced fare (when comparing to a private alternative) due to the reduction in operating costs as the usage of the vehicles is increased; essentially, the main intentions of pooling...

While social segregation is often assessed in terms of one socio-geographic space, usually place of residence, more recent approaches also incorporate activity-based and, in particular, mobility-based data. This study extends the use of mobility data to measure social segregation between multiple groups by developing a method to connect socio...

The COVID-19 pandemic poses an unprecedented challenge for the public transport system. The capacity of the transport system has been significantly reduced due to the imposition of social distancing measures to reduce the spread of the coronavirus. People remain skeptical about the use of public transport and prefer alternatives for their...

Bus bunching is a problem that occurs in many high frequent bus systems. This can be averted by several countermeasures of which holding control is the most popular one in practice. Holding control strategies are often implemented using predefined rules. In this study, multi-agent reinforcement learning is selected to develop an effective...

With the increasing demand for public transport systems worldwide and also a lot of these systems running at their maximum capacity, there is a strong need for finding ways for these systems to operate in a more efficient way. In recent transportation research there is an increasing attention for operational conditions and the impact of...

The number of passengers using public transport has decreased drastically as a consequence of the global coronavirus pandemic in 2020. This study aimed to retrieve the importance of the perceived risk of getting infected with the coronavirus in choosing to go by train in the Netherlands. With a Hierarchical Information Integration approach it...

Despite its potential benefits of reduced traffic congestion and discounted trips, incorporating ride-pooling in a city comes with a set of challenges that require thorough analysis, optimisation, and planning. Even though, services like \textit{Uber} have existed in Amsterdam for over a decade, city wide ride-pooling has yet to be implemented....

High-speed rail (HSR) is frequently seen as a promising alternative for long-distance travel by air and road, given its environmental advantages whilst offering a competitive level of service. However, due to a lack of knowledge on the design of HSR specific line configurations and the prioritisation of national and railway company interests, no...

Previous studies on ride-sharing potential have neglected that ride-sharing choice considers a trade-off of disbenefits with a financial reward. This study considers delays and psychological discomfort related to sharing a vehicle as the main ride-sharing costs. Next to finding how these (possibly heterogeneous) behavioral preferences and the...

Passenger punctuality is one of the most important measures to indicate and improve the service reliability of public transport operators. Previously, passenger punctuality measurements were mainly based on passenger counts in combination with vehicle locations. With the growing use of Automatic Fare Collection systems, passenger punctuality...

In my thesis, I have done research into the optimization of stopping patterns and frequencies of public transport services within a network. I have developed a model that takes both passenger and operator costs into account. The model has been run for a small fictional network and for the metro and train network of Amsterdam, to explore how the...

This research has analysed the effect of different holding control strategies for high-frequency bus lines: schedule-based and headway-based holding. An evaluation based on different key performance indicators was conducted, by using a simulation model (BusMezzo). In addition, different operational and contractual difficulties with respect to...

In recent years there has been an increasing interest in the concept of Demand Responsive Transport (DRT). The area of application has almost exclusively been limited to road bound systems. Applying DRT as a substitute for current heavy rail services has not been considered in literature or practice before. This thesis is a first step into the...

Disruptions in public transport systems highly affects the evaluation of passengers of these systems. This research provides a framework for urban public transport operators to use in the management of disruptions, with a main focus on the passenger perspective of the management of disruptions, but also considering the operational effects of...
