Yap, M.D. (author)Public transport systems can be subject to disruptions, which have negative impacts on passengers. Disruptions can result in additional in-vehicle time, waiting time, transfer time and extra transfers for passengers. In addition, perceived journey times might increase due to higher crowding levels on public transport services. Public transport...doctoral thesis 2020

van Erp, P.B.C. (author)Traffic state information is crucial for different applications, e.g., in design and operation of road traffic networks, and in navigation services. Traffic sensing data, e.g., loop-detector data, may directly provide the desired information. Alternatively, the traffic state information may be estimated with data that only provides partial and...doctoral thesis 2020

van Schaik, Lucia (author)Understanding pedestrian traffic is essential to design for safe and reliable pedestrian infrastructures, facilities and operations. For the assessment and design of pedestrian transfer areas at stations capacity standards for uni- and bidirectional flows are applied. It has been observed that, at railway stations, also other configurations of...master thesis 2020

Gaspardo, Alessio (author)The discussion involving BRT and LRT is well alive among policymakers, who often rely on personal preferences or, as it is called in literature, on “blind commitment” towards one system or the other for their decision-making. The reason for choosing a system according to personal taste is also caused by the unknown preferences that public...master thesis 2019

Ton, D. (author)Due to increasing urbanisation rates worldwide combined with growing transportation demand, liveability of the urban environment is under pressure (UN, 2018). In response, many governments worldwide have set goals for increasing the share of trips made using sustainable modes of transport, such as walking and cycling. The use of active modes (i...doctoral thesis 2019

Shu, Y. (author)Modeling is a promising approach to understand and predict the safety and efficiency of maritime traffic in ports and waterways. Different types of models have been developed over the years. Nevertheless, several important scientific challenges still remain. For instance, few models consider vessel behavior in ports and waterways under the...doctoral thesis 2019

De Ruijter, Arjan (author)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...master thesis 2019

Birch, Nigel (author)The aim of this thesis is to gain insights into the impact that various variables have on the topological evolution of a public transit network in a polycentric urban region. These variables are: the spatial structure of the polycentric urban region, the demand distribution, the operational costs and multimodality versus unimodality. To gain...master thesis 2019

Tamminga, G.F. (author)Over the past decades, transport and traffic models have become powerful tools for transport and traffic practitioners and academics all over the world. Most of these commercial model packages provide proprietary and closed source software, which generally implies that users are not enabled to freely edit, modify and extend the code....doctoral thesis 2019

Stam, Bas (author)This research aimed to create knowledge and set guidelines for the (re)development of railway station areas regarding the required land use for access/egress facilities as a result of access/egress transportation developments. First, a literature review was conducted to gather knowledge for the foundation of this research. With the information,...master thesis 2019

Cristofoli, Anna (author)This thesis aims to develop a novel control strategy that efficiently controls traffic with different penetration rates by relying purely on wireless communication to integrate the control of automated and human drivers. The new strategy uses the concept of induced platooning to use automated vehicle to indirectly control conventional vehicles....master thesis 2019

van Beinum, A.S. (author)In the vicinity of motorway ramps, multiple manoeuvres are performed by drivers that are entering or exiting the motorway, and by drivers that anticipate on, or cooperate with, the other entering and exiting vehicles. These manoeuvres involve lane-changes, changes in speed, and changes in headways. This results in changes in lane flow...doctoral thesis 2018

Bellsola Olba, X. (author)Vessel traffic in ports is a key issue due to the high increase in vessel flows that lead to busier waterways. This dissertation presents novel methodologies to assess vessel traffic in ports based on capacity and risk independently and jointly. These methodologies have been applied to case studies using simulation models and AIS data. They...doctoral thesis 2018

Varotto, S.F. (author)Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) and automated vehicles can contribute to reduce traffic congestion and accidents. Field operational Tests have shown that drivers may prefer to deactivate ACC systems that are inactive at low speeds in dense traffic conditions and before changing lanes. These transitions between automated and manual driving are...doctoral thesis 2018

Brouwer, Dorus (author)There is a need to know flow capacities of common bottlenecks of cycle storages because an increasing number of large cycle storages are being designed. Flow capacity values are not available from literature nor is a suitable method to determine those values. This research contributes to filling these research gaps, by developing a method to...master thesis 2018

Han, Y. (author)Traffic congestion has become a global issue that has a significant impact on our societys productivity. Its negative effects not only lie in the travel delays and unsafe conditions that it brings to road users, but also many aspects of our lives such as the air we all breathe. Construction and traffic management are typical alternatives for...doctoral thesis 2017

Wang, P. (author)Even though rail is more energy efficient than most other transport modes, the enhancement of energy efficiency is an important issue for railways to reduce their contributions to climate change further as well as to save costs and enlarge competition advantages involved. This thesis is motivated by the challenges in improving energy efficiency...doctoral thesis 2017
