Spruit, John (author)With recent advancements in autonomous driving, the demand for precise and accurate perception systems has increased. Perception of the vehicle’s environment is a key element in ensuring safe operation. Due to their wide aperture angle and low cost, ultrasonic sensors are a viable option for achieving close-range 360° perception around the...master thesis 2023

Webbers, Jesse (author)Since the commercialisation of air travel, demand for air transport is increasing. Optimal system capacity utilisation at airports has therefore become crucial. As available resources such as land, buildings and human are scarce and airline tickets need to be financially affordable, airports optimise their system while maximising capacity within...master thesis 2023

Rao, Shruti (author), Ghosh, Surjya (author), Rodriguez, Gerard Pons (author), Röggla, Thomas (author), Cesar, Pablo (author), El Ali, Abdallah (author)Capturing drivers’ affective responses given driving context and driver-pedestrian interactions remains a challenge for designing in-vehicle, empathic interfaces. To address this, we conducted two lab-based studies using camera and physiological sensors. Our first study collected participants’ (N = 21) emotion self-reports and physiological...journal article 2023

Tang, Tie Qiao (author), Nicolas, Alexandre (author), Lee, Seungjae (author), Daamen, W. (author), Song, Ziqi (author)In the study of pedestrian dynamics, the consideration of group behaviours is essential, as group interaction within crowds is a common phenomenon and significantly influences pedestrian behaviours. This special issue highlights the importance of pedestrian group behaviours and examines the subject using a wide range of methods, such as...contribution to periodical 2023

Rao, Shruti (author), Wirjopawiro, Sabrina (author), Pons Rodriguez, Gerard (author), Röggla, Thomas (author), Cesar, Pablo (author), El Ali, Abdallah (author)Eliciting and capturing drivers' affective responses in a realistic outdoor setting with pedestrians poses a challenge when designing in-vehicle, empathic interfaces. To address this, we designed a controlled, outdoor car driving circuit where drivers (N=27) drove and encountered pedestrian confederates who performed non-verbal positive or...conference paper 2023

Vo, Tung (author), Barbour, N.M. (author), Palaio, Lori (author), Maness, Michael (author)Bikesharing is a popular transportation mode for people to commute, for leisurely travel, or for recreation purposes in their daily tasks. Throughout 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic had significant impacts on bikeshare usage in the United States. Previous studies show that the pandemic negatively affected bikeshare activity patterns. To examine the...book chapter 2023

Scerri, Karyn (author), Attard, Maria (author), Duives, D.C. (author), Cats, O. (author)Understanding people’s travel behavior is key to creating spaces that discourage car use, especially for short, walkable distances. The scope of this study is to understand better people’s propensity to use a car rather than walk for short-distance trips by focusing on the concept of perceived exertion (PE). A comparison is performed of two...journal article 2023

Evans, Barry (author), Lam, Arthur (author), West, Charles (author), Ahmadian, Reza (author), Djordjević, Slobodan (author), Chen, Albert (author), Pregnolato, M. (author)With the increase of the frequency and severity of flooding events, coupled with population growth, the risks posed to people from flooding is ever more apparent. This paper proposes a methodology to examine the risks posed to vehicles' occupants and pedestrians simultaneously in an urban context. Through considering stability functions of a...journal article 2023

Huang, R. (author), Zhao, Xuan (author), Yuan, Y. (author), Yu, Qiang (author), Liu, Chengqing (author), Daamen, W. (author)Pedestrian tactical choices and operational movement in evacuations essentially pertain to decision-making under risk and uncertainty. However, in microscopic evacuation models, this attribute has been greatly overlooked, even lacking a methodology to delineate the related decision characteristics (bounded rationality and risk attitudes), let...journal article 2023

Oskina, M.I. (author), Farah, H. (author), Morsink, Peter (author), Happee, R. (author), van Arem, B. (author)The operation of automated vehicles (AVs) on shared roads requires attention concerning their interactions with vulnerable road users (VRUs), such as cyclists. This study investigates the safety of cyclists when they interact with an AV and compares it with their interaction with a conventional vehicle. Overall, 29 cyclists participated in a...journal article 2023

van den Heuvel, Jeroen P.A. (author)This thesis constitutes a first step towards measuring the passenger capacity of station platforms. First, it defines platform capacity on the basis of the locations of queues at exit escalators from platforms, the presence of passengers in the platform-edge danger zone and the duration of stops. It then renders capacity measurable using real...doctoral thesis 2022
