Multimodal network with the bicycle as core

In a multimodal network with the bicycle as core, the design of the network is based on the use of the bicycle as access and egress mode. With the bicycle as access and egress mode instead of walking, travellers can travel much larger distances to bus/tram/metro (BTM) stops and train stations while having about the same travel time. This will...

Walking and bicycle catchment areas of tram stops: Factors and insights

Pollution and congestion are important issues in urban mobility. These can potentially be solved by multimodal transport, such as the bicycle-Transit combination, which benefits from the flexible aspect of the bicycle and the wider spatial range of public transport. In addition, the bicycle can increase the catchment areas of public transport...

Walking and bicycle catchment areas of tram stops in The Hague

The bicycle-transit combination is researched through a revealed preference survey in The Hague, applied on the tram network. Two main things are examined: which factors affect feeder distance and which feeder mode choice. This is done by bivariate analyses, multivariate analyses (two logistic regression models) and a qualitative analysis ...

Minimum design requirements for domestic rainwater-harvesting systems on small volcanic islands in the Eastern Caribbean to prevent related water quality and quantity issues

Rainwater harvesting is the primary source of fresh water on the majority of isolated and volcanic islands in the Eastern Caribbean island chain that lack reliable sources fresh water. Recent research studies have determined that the microbiological quality of rainwater in cistern systems is generally unstable and can lead to serious health...
