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...

Multimodal Transportation Simulation for Emergencies using the Link Transmission Model

Emergencies disrupting urban transportation systems cause management problems for authorities. This thesis develops simulation methods that permit analysis thereof and evaluation of candidate management plans, tested in three case studies. It formulates a methodological framework using agent-based choice models and multimodal macroscopic dynamic...

Robustness Analysis of the Dutch Synchromodal Freight Transport Network: Simulating Disruptions on a Macroscopic Graph Model

Freight transport is an essential component of the economy, as among other things it ensures the availability of finished goods to consumers. Synchromodal transport is a new transport method that aims to use real-time and flexible switching among different modes of transport according to the latest logistics information, to utilise the different...

A general activity-based methodology for simulating multimodal transportation networks during emergencies

Many possible emergency conditions, including evacuations, negatively affect the urban transportation system by substantially increasing the travel demand and/or reducing the supplied capacity. A transportation model can be used to quantify and understand the impact of the underlying disasters and corresponding management strategies. To this end...

A General Activity-based Methodology for Simulating Multimodal Transportation Networks during Emergencies

Paper + lecture. Many possible emergency conditions, including evacuations, negatively affect the urban transportation system by substantially increasing the travel demand and/or reducing the supplied capacity. We develop a new, general and efficient methodology suitable for simulating multimodal transportation systems subject to a wide range of...
