de Ruyter, M. (author)In Dutch design guidelines it is presumed that merging tapers are unsafe compared to the standard merger design. However, this presumption is not scientifically underpinned and therefore it is unclear whether this presumption is correct and if merging tapers are indeed unsafe. Design guidelines for merging tapers are neither scientifically...master thesis 2016

Iliadi, A. (author)Nowadays, there is an increasing number of large scale events and a growing number of people tend to participate to these events. In general, during large scale events the combination of the lack of sufficient information to support crowd management with the movements of the crowd can create not only problems on the undisturbed movements of...master thesis 2016

Van Hoeckel, J.E.M. (author)In order to improve the usage efficiency of the road network, this research investigates and proposes an approach for a traffic management solution called Online Anticipatory Network Management. The proposed traffic management solution aims to redistribute traffic flows and to increase network performance by determining and applying traffic...master thesis 2016

Koppenol, G.J. (author)The quality of a public transport network is not only determined by its performance in non-disturbed situations. On a quite frequent basis public transport service do not operate according to plan. This urges for analysis on how well a network is capable to perform in such situations. How well is a PT network capable of maintaining its network...master thesis 2016

Baelde, F. (author)People are becoming more mobile and enterprising. They go to events or go shopping, which means they walk and they are not alone. Especially in larger cities or at events it can get very crowded, which is accompanied by risks. To guarantee the safety of pedestrians, crowd management has to be applied. Knowledge about crowd management is...master thesis 2016

Oud, M. (author)Models are an important tool for decision making. However, in order to get proper results, these models must be validated and only be used in situations where the conditions of the validation apply. Blind trust on a model can lead to unexpected and inaccurate results. Advancements can be made to reduce the number of situations where this occurs....master thesis 2016

Wolters, G.J. (author)The performance of the NS and ProRail is measured by, among others, passenger punctuality. With the introduction of the OV-chipkaart (the smart card of the Dutch public transport) new data of passengers became available. Therefore the NS developed a new method of calculating passenger punctuality. Based on the check-in and checkout locations and...master thesis 2016

Meulenberg, M.J.A. (author)Due to increasing congestion there is a need for improved traffic control measures. During the Field Operational Test Integrated Management Amsterdam (Praktijkproef Amsterdam (PPA)) several control measures have been tested. One of them is ramp metering. The ramp metering algorithm, ALINEA, has been used with the "Parameterschatter" (Parameter...master thesis 2016

Lemans, A.C.D. (author)So far, the fair distribution (equity) of public transport service has barely/not been considered when appraising new PT lines, although a more equitable system could lead to higher (socio-economic) benefits. The reason is that there is little guidance in the measurement of accessibility and the measurement and assessment of the equity of it....master thesis 2016

Scheltes, A.F. (author)The last mile in a public transport trip appears to be one of the main deterrents in public transport to be competitive with other modes of transport. The reason for this bad performance of the last mile can be related to the slow and inflexible character of the last mile. Where PRT systems aspire to deliver an on demand, direct service to a...master thesis 2015

Gorter, C.M. (author)Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) is a system present which enables the car to autonomously maintain a certain speed, and based on the location and the speed of the predecessor, change the speed of the vehicle. This research is meant to determine the influence of ACC on the behavior of the driver, and on flows and safety on the road. Three databases...master thesis 2015

Geerts, B.A.M. (author)The research is about traffic safety in school environments. It is investigated how much the subjective traffic safety perceived by the users of the environment can be objectively explained. In that way it can be determined how much influence a municipality has, in its role as road authority, in influencing the perceived traffic safety. In the...master thesis 2015

Hamilton, L.H.M. (author)The development of self-driving vehicles is growing rapidly. The goal of this research is to investigate the possibilities of self-driving vehicles as public transport. Based on development, existing projects and existing public transport systems a suitable system of self-driving vehicles as public transport is determined. Rotterdam is used as a...master thesis 2015

Van de Water, L.A. (author)Microscopic optimisation of strategic and tactical planning of freight transportation in ports is focussed on sub-systems instead of optimising transportation chains. Combining models provides representation of a larger part of a transportation chain and insight into interactions between processes of sub-systems. Application of the concept to a...master thesis 2015

Buitenhuis, M.S. (author)Congestion on the road is a widely recognized problem. To improve traffic conditions on the road, several methods have been developed over the years. Dynamic traffic management is one of them and has proven to be effective. It aims at making better use of the existing network capacity and at managing traffic flows. In order to further improve...master thesis 2015

Van Kampen, J.J.L. (author)Bad traffic conditions can be improved by regulating traffic demand and network capacity. Dynamic Traffic Management (DTM) systems allocate temporal and spatial utilization of infrastructures and vehicle fleets by means of dynamic signals. By timely response to changing traffic conditions DTM goals, in terms of effective, safe and reliable use...master thesis 2015
