Flying in the face of climate change: the role of information to induce voluntary behavioural changeMeijneke, Sanne (author)The Ministry of Infrastructure and Water Management looks into the possibility of raising the awareness of Dutch citizens as policy measure to encourage travellers to travel in a more conscious and more climate-friendly manner. Scientific literature, however, shows contradictory results on the effectiveness of this measure. An ongoing academic...master thesis 2022

de Haas, M.C. (author)Mobility is an important part of daily life. With modern mobility systems, people have access to a range of transport modes allowing them to basically reach any destination they want. Although people often have multiple options to choose from, personal mobility is dominated by motorized road transport in many countries and cities, also in the...doctoral thesis 2022

Bickel, Julia (author)The aim of this study is to capture heterogeneity in travel behaviour during unplanned train disruptions focusing on the rise of teleworking due to the COVID-19 pandemic to improve train services and help predict passenger flows during disruptions. To perform the analyses, a dataset is elicited from 815 Dutch train commuters by distributing an...master thesis 2022

Moesker, Rosalie (author)The Erasmus Medical Center (EMC) campus is working on an intensification of functions for the new Masterplan of 2050. Since densification is only possible vertically due to the enclosed location, there is an increase of 5000 employees and only 650 physical parking spaces, leading to lessened accessibility by car. Simultaneously, vehicles are...master thesis 2022

Buteyn, Sophie (author)Increasing emissions from aviation combined with the intensifying climate change, highlight the need for a sustainable change in the aviation sector. Since innovations making flying in itself more sustainable are taking long to implement, a behavioural change (flying less or not at all) is<br/>necessary.<br/><br/>Recent societal developments...master thesis 2022

Tao, Y. (author), Petrović, A. (author), van Ham, M. (author)The relationship between commuting behaviours and subjective wellbeing has been fascinating scholars of different disciplines. Especially in the last decade, longitudinal research designs have made great progress in identifying causality in the commuting-wellbeing relationship by focusing on within-individual variations over time. However,...journal article 2022

Hafsteinsdóttir, Gudrun Birta (author)Covid-19 has had a major impact on mobility and especially on public transportation. In the Netherlands, the impact on public transport usage reduced up to 90% per day during the Covid-19 crisis compared to 2019. In June 2021, when travelling by public transport was allowed again, the usage was only half compared to a similar weekday in 2019. To...student report 2021

Dirkzwager, Herman (author)Research into the bidirectional relationships between travel behaviour, attitude and risk perception during the COVID-19 pandemic. Using travel data obtained by the NS Panel, a cross-lagged panel model is constructed to analyse the causation in the three predictors for car and train travel.master thesis 2021

Pudane, B. (author)Automated vehicles (AVs) have been a dream for a long time. From science fiction in the 1930s to countless prototypes, extensive road testing, and first use cases at present, the technology has clearly come a long way. So too has the vision of practitioners and academics matured to recognise the various potential benefits (e.g., accessibility,...doctoral thesis 2021

Ouyang, Sicong (author)The outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 seriously impacted the world. Some previous researches suggest that global incidents could strongly influence the demand for passenger air transport services (Sobieralski, 2020). And the impacts on the demand can be ascribed to the change in the air travel behaviour of travellers (Ito & Lee, 2005...master thesis 2021

Alberts, Gijs (author)(standing) E-scooters are a promising mode of transport; the vehicles are electrically powered, light, and fit in the dense urban landscape. However, little is known about the impact of these vehicles that can be expected when introduced in the Netherlands. In this paper, effect estimations of e-scooters on travel behaviour and society are made,...master thesis 2021

Schneider, F. (author)Knowledge about the way how the bicycle is used for activity participation is still scarce. This thesis provides empirical insights into typical activity-travel behaviour of cyclists. A special focus is put on the spatial dimension of activity-travelling by bicycle and its determinants. The findings can be used to design more bicycle-friendly...doctoral thesis 2021

Versteijlen, Marieke (author), van Wee, G.P. (author), Wals, Arjen (author)Purpose: Daily commuting trips of higher education (HE) students account for a large proportion of the carbon footprint of a HE institution. Considerations of students underlying their choice of travel mode and their decision to make the trip to campus or to study online are explored as a necessary first step for finding an optimal balance...journal article 2021

van Wee, G.P. (author), Witlox, Frank (author)This paper discusses possible long-term effects of COVID-19 on activity-travel behaviour. Making use of theories and concepts from economics, psychology, sociology, and geography, this work argues that lasting effects can be expected, and specifically that peak demand among car and public transport users may be lower than if the pandemic...journal article 2021

Faber, Roel (author), Merkies, Raimbard (author), Damen, Wouter (author), Oirbans, Leonard (author), Massa, Davide (author), Kroesen, M. (author), Molin, E.J.E. (author)Residential self-selection (RSS) is the theoretical mechanism that explains that the impact of the built environment on travel behaviour is weaker than bivariate correlations suggest, because mode attitudes influence both the built environment and travel behaviour and therefore at least partially account for the bivariate relationship....journal article 2021

Trip chaining of bicycle and car commuters: An empirical analysis of detours to secondary activitiesSchneider, F. (author), Daamen, W. (author), Hoogendoorn, S.P. (author)A largely overlooked mode choice factor of cycling is the mode-dependent capability of visiting several activity locations within a trip chain. Due to the bicycle’s limited reach in comparison to the car, this capability can be increased by urban environments that facilitate trip chaining by bicycle. In the present paper, we empirically study...journal article 2021

van de Coevering, P.P. (author), Maat, C. (author), van Wee, G.P. (author)Travel-related attitudes are believed to affect the connections between the built environment and travel behaviour. Previous studies found supporting evidence for the residential self-selection hypothesis which suggests that the impact of the built environment on travel behaviour could be overestimated when attitudes are not accounted for....journal article 2021

McCarthy, L.E. (author), Delbosc, A.R. (author), Kroesen, M. (author), de Haas, M.C. (author)In recent years, there has been a resurgence of interest in the ‘disagreement’ or dissonance between travel attitudes and behaviours. This has shown that when people experience travel-related dissonance they are less satisfied with their travel experience. However, what remains unclear is whether people experiencing dissonance are more likely to...journal article 2021

van der Tuin, M.S. (author), Pel, A.J. (author)Transport infrastructure owners are moving from reactive toward proactive infrastructure management. This involves computation of costs associated with failure or maintenance, including expected transport delays. These delays are often computed by multiplying additional travel time by the number of travellers. However, this does not reflect...journal article 2020

Tippabhatla, Raghu (author)The traditional transport hubs are shaping into the idea of the mobility hubs with the advent of multiple vehicle-sharing forms, such as bike-sharing and car-sharing. Also, a gradual shift in the culture of consumption towards more usage and less ownership, as well as the shared economy supported by internet platforms and mobile apps, allows...master thesis 2020
