Investigating the behavioural impact of a price-differentiated kilometer charge: A discrete choice model on the Dutch citizen

This paper investigates the kilometer charge and the potential effects of emission-based differentiation, how this policy is supported among Dutch citizens and how it affects different groups. It investigates the behavioural change caused by the new policy using Dutch stated preference discrete choice data. Two stated choice experiments are...

Vehicle Choice and System Performance: The Influence of a Dynamic Pricing User-Based Relocation Strategy: Stated Choice and Field Experiments in a Free-floating E-moped Sharing System

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...

Dutch energy consumer preferences for the adoption of sustainable residential heating technologies: A context-dependent stated choice experiment to measure consumer behaviour within future scenarios of the Dutch energy transition

Climate change and global warming are some of the greatest challenges the world is currently facing. This challenge has structural impacts on the natural environment as well as on human well-being. As a response to the concerns regarding climate change, the Netherlands started a renewable energy transition. Nevertheless, the realisation of the...

Influence of Built Environment Characteristics and Proximity at Both Trip Ends on the use of transit

It is well known among the academicians and urban transport studies have repeatedly reiterated that transport transit-oriented development (TOD) can and is increasing the propensity to use transit. TOD essentially brings housing, jobs, entertainment options, restaurants, groceries closer to the transit stop.But the success of a TOD area is only...

A new approach to artificial intelligence for decision support: Case study in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit of the University Medical Centre of Groningen

For decades researchers deliberated and continue to debate on how to support and assist humans in decision-making. This resulted in the development of Intelligent Decisions Support Systems (IDSSs). An IDSS is an application of artificial intelligence (AI) that desires to enhance and support decision making by enabling tasks to be performed by a...

Studying participant decision-making processes in Participatory Value Evaluation: By application to a case study of Delft public infrastructure projects

Participatory Value Evaluation (PVE) is an innovative methodology that supports public policy-making by estimating the societal value of public policies or projects through citizen participation. This thesis studies the decision-making processes applied by participants using a case study of infrastructure projects within the municipality of...

Night-Time Train Travel: A Stated-Preference study into the Willingness to Use night trains for European long-distance travel

Limiting climate change forces us to switch to a more sustainable mobility. Travelling by train is more sustainable. Night trains might be a solution, they over several advantages such as a higher comfort level and can travel long-distances during the night. However, there currently is no knowledge about the Willingness to Use night trains. This...

An exploratory study into the influence of last-mile home delivery innovations on consumer delivery service choices in the parcel and meal delivery markets

Innovating the last mile of parcel and meal delivery Logistic service providers are looking for ways to innovate their delivery process in order to optimize their operations, lower operational cost, and to be able to meet growing consumer demands in terms of convenience, predictability, accuracy and flexibility in delivery time and place....

The Monetary Value of a Pleasant and Productive Train Trip: Developing an experimental method for estimating the monetary value of activities performed during travel

The value of travel time saving(VOTTS) is very important in cost benefit analysis(CBA) as it is used to calculate the monetary gain in case of an improvement in transport that leads to reduction in travel time. Although it is easy to directly calculate monetary gains due to a speed improvement, monetary gains due to transport service improvement...
