The willingness to pay of various types of bike parking-users at train stations for different types of facilities and stations

Bike-train usage contributes to more sustainable and also more reliable transport. Nowadays, approximately 45% of the train passengers in the Netherlands access the station by bike. Therewith, the focus of policy makers shifts to the total “door-to-door” travel experience. Bicycle usage is stimulated, and the facilities are adapted accordingly....

Estimating the Flow Capacity of Pedestrian Intersections at Railway Stations: A field study at Utrecht Centraal station

Understanding pedestrian traffic is essential to design for safe and reliable pedestrian infrastructures, facilities and operations. For the assessment and design of pedestrian transfer areas at stations capacity standards for uni- and bidirectional flows are applied. It has been observed that, at railway stations, also other configurations of...

Flow Capacity of Bottlenecks in a Cycle Storage

There is a need to know flow capacities of common bottlenecks of cycle storages because an increasing number of large cycle storages are being designed. Flow capacity values are not available from literature nor is a suitable method to determine those values. This research contributes to filling these research gaps, by developing a method to...

Nijmegen Centraal! A new concept for the Dutch railway station environment of Nijmegen

This thesis aims at developing a new concept for the railway station and its environment in Nijmegen. The focus is on the public domain in and around the railway station located at the urban fringe of the historic centre of a medium sized Dutch city. The case for this graduation project is Nijmegen. It is the aim to improve the accessibility,...
