Performance analysis on joint mode and destination choice: a tour-based model of Limburg

Comparing the performance of distribution functions and a discrete choice model, on a mode & destination choice in a tour-based model. An discrete choice model is composed for a tour-based model. Both choice models are implemented in a large-scale tour-based model and the performances are compared.

A tour-based multimodal mode choice model for impact assessment of new mobility concepts and mobility as a service

Mobility as a Service (MaaS) and new mobility concepts mutually inspire each other, provide alternatives for the private car-oriented transport system as we know it, and will offer more mobility choices in a single journey than ever. This multitude of mobility choices however poses challenges in modeling the travelers’ mode choices in travel...

Data-driven preference-based routing and scheduling for activity-based freight transport modelling

Understanding preferences and behaviours in road freight transport is valuable for planning and analysis. This paper proposes a data-driven vehicle routing and scheduling approach for use as a descriptive tool to study road freight transport activities. The model developed seeks to capture planners’ or drivers’ preferences in order to...

Application of an empirical multi-agent model for urban goods transport to analyze impacts of zero emission zones in The Netherlands

Reducing emissions caused by urban freight transportation is an increasingly important policy objective for transportation planners around the world. New and innovative ways of data collection provide new possibilities to analyze these issues. In this paper we present MASS-GT, a new multi-agent simulation system for urban goods transport. The...

Improving the wayfinding to the commercial services at Schiphol: Supporting passengers to explore the surroundings of the airport autonomously

This thesis has the goal to improve the commercial wayfinding at Schiphol. Commercial wayfinding entails tertiary wayfinding activities, which are not related to the travel process (shopping, eating/drinking, relaxing), whereas functional wayfinding gives information about passenger activities related to the airport process. Individuals can find...

Tour Haven-Stad: Smart Mobility & Urban Development in Haven-Stad, Amsterdam

Maps represent reality in a consciously filtered and scaled way. We—not only designers but anyone who wants to interfere with the built environment—need maps to get a clutter-free overview of space. Moreover, we can project and infer very specific data of a location on a map creating a model and providing information that could never be...

Descriptive modeling of freight tour formation: A shipment-based approach

An increasing amount of research is dedicated to the consideration of tour formation in freight transportation demand models. While empirical tour formation models so far have been starting from limiting assumptions about the resulting trips, we develop a generalized shipment-based model. We formulate a random utility model embedded in an...

Tour of Ireland

The bicycle tour, more than any other sporting event, is fundamentally dependent on the landscape. The landscape has been used not only to challenge the peloton physically but also as a visual background for the event that has been broadcast worldwide. Tour of Ireland was first organised in 1953 as a part of An Tóstal, an Irish cultural festival...

A priori TSP in the scenario model

In this paper, we consider the a priori traveling salesman problem in the scenario model. In this problem, we are given a list of subsets of the vertices, called scenarios, along with a probability for each scenario. Given a tour on all vertices, the resulting tour for a given scenario is obtained by restricting the solution to the vertices...

A behavioral shipment-based model of freight tour formation

Tour formation is a distinguishing feature of freight transportation. An increasing amount of research is dedicated to the consideration of tour formation in freight simulation models, but these tour formation models lack statistical calibration on empirical data, do not represent shipments explicitly, or focus on a narrow segment of freight...

Ontwikkeling en schatting van een gedragsmatig model voor tourformatie

Tourformatie is kenmerkend aan goederenwegvervoer, niet zelden worden meerdere zendingen in een rit vervoerd. Toch wordt dit aspect vaak over het hoofd gezien in goederenvervoermodellen. Wanneer tourformatie wel wordt toegepast, dan worden vaak geen zendingen gemodelleerd, is het modelgedrag niet gebaseerd op empirische data, of wordt slechts...

De incrementele ontwikkeling van een data-driven agent-gebaseerd simulatiemodel voor goederenvervoer

De ontwikkeling van een agent-gebaseerd simulatiemodel voor goederenvervoer is complex en vraagt veel data. In deze bijdrage beschrijven we de incrementele ontwikkeling van een agent-gebaseerd simulatiemodel voor goederenvervoer, waarin een zendingen-gebaseerde aanpak gevolgd wordt en het gedrag van individuele bedrijven gesimuleerd wordt....

Cinematic VR in museums: A strategy for immersive video in and for museums

Recent technological development in the field of head mounted displays (HMD) like the Oculus Rift and 360° 3D cameras present new opportunities for virtual reality. VR-Producties.nl (and videoproducties.nl) want to expand their portfolio by producing immersive 360° video content. However, several larger competitors and major broadcasting...
