de Ridder, Tim (author)Enhancing and expanding public transportation is becoming a crucial solution to the high costs of congestion and the escalating environmental impacts of car-centric transportation systems observed in numerous cities today. One approach to enhance the quality of public transportation, and thereby boosting its ridership, is through the intelligent...master thesis 2023

Boertje, Laurens (author)Public transport is important for society, it provides accessibility to opportunities. Accessibility is not distributed evenly. Some inhabitants are disadvantaged, which has negative impacts on society. The distribution of accessibility between inhabitants can be measured with transport equity. The PT network should be improved in order to...master thesis 2023

Ensing, Jorick (author)Travelers do not like transfers in their Public Transport journey; it gives a disutility. Minimizing this disutility is valuable to increase travelers' satisfaction. To be able to reduce this disutility, transfers have to be identified first. Multi-operator smart card datasets allow for the identification of transfers between different operators...master thesis 2022

Donaldson, Narayan (author)Traffic signals in a coordinated network normally use a common cycle length which remains constant at all times, including when there is a request for priority from a public transport vehicle. This enables green waves to be maintained effectively but can limit the signals' ability to promptly serve the prioritised vehicle....master thesis 2022

Wang, Z. (author), Pel, A.J. (author), Verma, T. (author), Krishnakumari, P.K. (author), van Brakel, Peter (author), van Oort, N. (author)Predictions on public transport ridership are beneficial as they allow for sufficient and cost-efficient deployment of vehicles. At an operational level, this relates to short-term predictions with lead times of less than an hour. Where conventional data sources on ridership, such as Automatic Fare Collection (AFC) data, may have longer lag...conference paper 2022

Geurts, Johan (author)The goals of bus services can be split into patronage (regarding the number of people that actually use the service) and coverage (regarding the number of people that are able to use the service) goals. Current bus networks are designed primarily for the coverage goals, as a consequence the patronage is lacking resulting in only few bus services...master thesis 2021

Siblesz, Jan (author)Stations form the main bottle neck in a public transport journey. Efficient PT-systems depend on the optimal cooperation of modalities which makes transferring essential. For years the node place model has been the main paradigm of looking at stations in the Netherlands. This study aims to add a component to the model by developing a score for...master thesis 2021

Krom, Johan Klaas (author), Wilkesmann, Florian (author), MONTES ROJAS, ALEJANDRO (author), Zhang, Ziru (author), Bhatt, Reddhi Uday (author)The COVID-19 pandemic has had a substantial impact on public transportation. With ridership figures decreasing, it has brought a new sense of urgency to the old problem of crowding. Using a structured design approach, this paper presents the results of a project which set out to reduce crowding in Dutch train stations by<br/>absorbing it at the...student report 2021

Müller, Olmo (author)With the increasing demand for public transport systems worldwide and also a lot of these systems running at their maximum capacity, there is a strong need for finding ways for these systems to operate in a more efficient way. In recent transportation research there is an increasing attention for operational conditions and the impact of...master thesis 2021

Sampimon, Max (author)This project revolves around redesigning Demand Responsive Transport services for non-digital users. The Ombudsman has identified that in the past couple of years public transport (PT) operators are replacing fixed transit lines (FLT) by Demand Responsive Transport (DRT) services in low demand areas (OV-loket, 2017). DRT is more efficient,...master thesis 2020

Schuiling, J.H.N. (author)In this research, the link between air travel and the first/last mile trip with public transportation will be researched, as in practice, ticket platforms (such as Booking.com or Expedia) do not yet provide this integrated air- and public transport service. Eventually, the idea would be to create an integration platform that serves as a mediator...master thesis 2020

Taylor Parkins, Eva (author)The currentpublic Dutch transport tariff system is complex and difficult to understand forthe passenger. It is assumed that passengers feel like they are not getting the“best price”, but do not have the means to validate this. Furthermore, there isa large offer of tickets and subscriptions available which can lead...master thesis 2020

de Lanoy, Jasper (author)During tenders in public transport, the bus network is reconsidered and adjusted. An accurate prediction of the effect on ridership is required. Due to the tender environment, time and input data are limited. This research focuses on deriving a relation between level-of-service (LOS) and ridership, and implementing this in a model suitable for...master thesis 2019

Hijner, Anne Mijntje (author)In order for public transportation to remain an attractive travel option, its reliability must be improved. To enable this, extensive knowledge on the passenger delay phenomenon is necessary. This study explores the possibility of using empirical data of passenger delay to determine the relationships between stations through a Bayesian Network...master thesis 2019

Wang, Ziyulong (author)In this study, a data-driven, generic and transfer-based methodology for separation and ranking the PTNs has been put forward. With the hierarchy of a network, this is beneficiary for the management and operation of operators for focusing on the higher level network layer and in turn provide better service for passengers. The study introduces...student report 2019

Stevens, Martijn (author)Due to connectivity problems, the attractiveness of public transport is limited. Policymakers aim to increase the modal share of public transport to protect the accessibility, livability, safety, sustainability and efficiency in the cities of the future. Applying Autonomous Mobility on-Demand (AMoD) systems as a feeder service for public...master thesis 2019

Kusters, Jasmijn (author)Since 2011, an electronic registration system, called the OV chip card, has been in use in the Netherlands for the payment of all public transport. As a result, the Dutch Railways (NS) have implemented all the necessary equipment to support the sales and validation processes of this system. Another company (Thales, the agent) has been hired to...master thesis 2019

Birch, Nigel (author)The aim of this thesis is to gain insights into the impact that various variables have on the topological evolution of a public transit network in a polycentric urban region. These variables are: the spatial structure of the polycentric urban region, the demand distribution, the operational costs and multimodality versus unimodality. To gain...master thesis 2019

Bronsvoort, Kristel (author)The aim of this thesis was to find the preferences of bus users in rural areas of the Netherlands for alternative public transport. Two alternatives for bus were proposed: a demand responsive transport service and a multi-modal alternative that combined express bus with bike-sharing services for last mile transport. A stated choice survey was...master thesis 2019

Geržinič, Nejc (author)This research combines two relatively new additions to the field of discrete choice modelling: sequential best worst discrete choice experiments (SBWDCE) and random regret minimisation (RRM) modelling, with the hope of developing a more behaviourally realistic choice model. SBWDCEs are able to gather a larger number of stated choice observations...master thesis 2018
