Yuan, Y. (author), Daamen, W. (author), Hoogendoorn, S. (author), Vrancken, D. (author)The steadily increasing numbers and lengths of traffic jams on freeways have led to the application of Dynamic Traffic Management (DTM) measures all over the world. Ramp metering control has proven to be one of the most efficient means to reduce freeway congestion. Currently, it is expected that integrated and coordinated application of DTM...conference paper 2010

Daamen, W. (author), Hoogendoorn, S.P. (author)For the new version of the Dutch design guidelines for buildings, a threshold value for the capacity of emergency doors needs to be set. Innovative largescale laboratory experiments have been performed to investigate the capacity of emergency doors during evacuation conditions. This paper focuses in particular on the relation between capacity...journal article 2010

Daamen, W. (author), Hoogendoorn, S.P. (author)In this paper, we show how the capacity of evacuation doors is affected by the evacuation door width, population composition, the presence of an open door and evacuation conditions. For this, laboratory experiments have been performed. Varying door opening widths showed that only the experiment with the widest door opening (275 cm) resulted in a...journal article 2010

Hoogendoorn, R.G. (author), Hoogendoorn, S.P. (author), Brookhuis, K.A. (author), Daamen, W. (author)Estimations of parameter values of car-following models show considerable differences between individuals and experiments. These differences may be caused by a different effect of external circumstances on mental workload of drivers. This effect may especially play a considerable role in case of driving under adverse conditions (e.g. evacuations...journal article 2010

Hoogendoorn, R.G. (author), Hoogendoorn, S.P. (author), Brookhuis, K.A. (author), Daamen, W. (author)Adverse weather conditions have been shown to have a substantial impact on traffic flow operations following substantial adaptation effects in driving behavior. In quantifying these effects psycho-spacing models may be used. In this contribution it was examined to what extend adverse weather conditions influence the position of action points in...journal article 2011

Shu, Y. (author), Daamen, W. (author), Ligteringen, H. (author), Hoogendoorn, S.P. (author)Maritime traffic safety and port capacity is increasingly important nowadays. Due to the fast development of vessel traffic in ports and waterways, a lot of attention has been paid to maritime traffic safety and port capacity. Many simulation models have been used to predict traffic safety and port capacity m ports and waterways. However,...conference paper 2012

Campanella, M.C. (author), Daamen, W. (author), Hoogendoorn, S.P. (author)The application of walker models to simulate real situations require accuracy in several traffic situations. One strategy to obtain a generic model is to calibrate the parameters in several situations using multiple-objective functions in the optimization process. In this paper, we propose a general methodology for calibration of walker models....conference paper 2012

Wang, M. (author), Daamen, W. (author), Hoogendoorn, S.P. (author), van Arem, B. (author)Driver assistance systems support drivers in operating vehicles in a safe, comfortable and efficient way, and thus may induce changes in traffic flow characteristics. This paper put forward a receding horizon control framework to model driver assistance systems. The accelerations of automated vehicles are determined to optimise a cost function,...conference paper 2012

Moraes Ramos, G. (author), Frejinger, E. (author), Daamen, W. (author), Hoogendoorn, S.P. (author)The past decades have seen an increased interest in the role of information as a tool to alleviate congestion. However, because the relationship between travelers’ behavior and information provision is not clear yet, the need for more experiments has been claimed in literature. From May 9th, 2011 to July 12th, 2011 a revealed route choice...conference paper 2012

Marczak, F. (author), Daamen, W. (author), Buisson, C. (author)This paper presents two empirical trajectory data sets focusing on the merging behaviour on a motorway, both in the Netherlands and in France. A careful review of the literature shows that the main theories explaining this behaviour rely on the hypothesis of gap acceptance, i.e. the fact that each driver has a certain threshold value depending...journal article 2013

Shu, Y. (author), Daamen, W. (author), Ligteringen, H. (author), Hoogendoorn, S.P.

However, a limited number of factors is considered in existing maritime models. Especially influences of external factors (wind, visibility and current), vessel encounters...conference paper 2013

(author)This paper deals with the optimal allocation of routes, destination, and departure times to members of a crowd, for instance in case of an evacuation or another hazardous situation in which the people need to leave the area as quickly as possible. The generic approach minimizes the evacuation times, considering the demand dependent waiting times...conference paper 2013

Campanella, M. (author), Hoogendoorn, S.P. (author), Daamen, W. (author)This paper presents details of the developments of the Nomad model after being introduced more than 12 years ago. The model is derived from a normative theory of pedestrian behavior making it unique under microscopic models. Nomad has been successfully applied in several cases indicating that it fulfils requirements for accuracy, scope and...journal article 2014

Van Wageningen-Kessels, F.L.M. (author), Hoogendoorn, S.P. (author), Daamen, W. (author)Consistent definitions of important variables in pedestrian flow dynamics are proposed. They are based on the definition of similar variables for road traffic flow from the 1960's by Edie. The definitions are extended to include multi-class flows where pedestrians move in different directions or have different characteristics. The new...journal article 2014

Yang, X. (author), Daamen, W. (author), Hoogendoorn, S.P. (author), Chen, Y. (author), Dong, H. (author)Pedestrian dynamics has been being a popular research area. In this paper, breakdown probability in the bidirectional flow that includes pedestrians with heterogeneities is investigated. Reaction time appears to have the most pronounced breakdown proba- bility, followed by desired velocity and then body size. The relationship between the start...journal article 2014
