What cities have is how people travel: Conceptualizing a data-mining-driven modal split framework

As city-level modal splits are outcomes of city functions, it is essential to understand whether and how city attributes affect modal splits to derive a modal shift toward low-emission travel modes and sustainable mobility in cities. This study elucidates this relationship between modal splits and city attributes in 46 cities worldwide,...

The geography of container port choice: modelling the impact of hinterland changes on port choice

European container ports compete in partially overlapping hinterland areas. The objective of this study is to model port choice and obtain insight into port choice decisions for European container imports from Asia. The importance of port choice factors and their impact on port market shares in the hinterland were investigated. Furthermore,...

This also applies to inland ports, which play an important role in the Dutch transport system. Inland ports have three major functions, i.e.,...

Performance Assessment of Fixed and Flexible Public Transport in a Multi Agent Simulation Framework

The emergence of innovative mobility solutions that offer flexible transport services, is changing the way urban public transport systems will be designed. Such mobility solutions offer on demand transport services and hence can solve the problems inherent with traditional line based and schedule based public transport systems. It is essential...

Changed mobility behaviour of young adults in the Netherlands - Improving the mobility image of young adults based on the OVG 2002/2003 and MON 2007/2009 dataset

In recent literature an emerging need of understanding the changed mode choice of young adults (aged 18 to 29) is revealed. International literature reveals different characteristics that influence the modal split of young adults, but a quantitative research on the changes in preference of these young adults, as basis of a deeper understanding...

Toyota Europe’s Freight Activity Outlook - 2030: The Effect of a Post White Paper Environment on European Freight Activities

Since 1990, this energy consumption in transport has been increasing at an average annual growth rate of approximately 1.6%. Freight transport activity, as one of the main contributors to this growth, is forecasted to increase by 50% by 2020. As a result, a number of policy issues have been raised, which can be summarized as follows: -...

Fietsen in Arnhem: Onderzoek naar de invloed van het relief op de modal split en ontwerp van een hieraan aangepast fietsroutenetwerk

In Arnhem is het aandeel van de fiets in de modal split, de verdeling van de door de bevolking gemaakte verplaatsingen over de verschillende vervoerwijzen, relatief erg laag. Een voor de hand liggende oorzaak zijn de grote bij fietsgebruik te overwinnen hoogteverschillen, het relief Hoogteverschillen zijn zeer nadelig voor fietsers. Een fietser...
