Zhou, H. (author), Dorsman, J.L. (author), Mandjes, M. (author), Snelder, M. (author)Nowadays, many cities are intending to reduce the use of private vehicles. Governments are incorporating new mobility services and are adapting their parking policies to promote a more sustainable mobility, as both strategies are believed to have the potential to reduce private vehicle use. To understand the effects of these strategies, one...journal article 2023

van t' Veer, R.J. (author), Annema, J.A. (author), Araghi, Yashar (author), Correia, Gonçalo (author), van Wee, G.P. (author)A restructuring of the current mobility and transportation system seems to be inescapable, as a result of the increasing urbanization and challenges regarding global sustainability. The concept of Mobility-as-a-Service (MaaS) is regarded by policy-makers as an answer to the needed change. Generally speaking, MaaS is an online platform that...journal article 2023

Tang, Chen (author), Tukker, Arnold (author), Sprecher, B. (author), Mogollón, José M. (author)The European Union (EU) has set a 37.5% GHG reduction target in 2030 for the mobility sector, relative to 1990 levels. This requires increasing the share of zero-emission passenger vehicles, mainly in the form of electric vehicles (EVs). This study calculates future GHG emissions related to passenger vehicle manufacturing and use based on...review 2023

Roukouni, A. (author), Aquilué Junyent, Inés (author), Marti Casanovas, Miquel (author), Correia, Gonçalo (author)Seamless, efficient transport intermodality is a key aspect of the transition of cities toward sustainable mobility. The new “shared mobility hub” concept is increasingly gaining attention as a potential way to make this urgently needed transition happen. The present paper aims to provide an insightful view of the promising concept of shared...journal article 2023

Geržinic, N. (author), Cats, O. (author), van Oort, N. (author), Hoogendoorn-Lanser, S. (author), Hoogendoorn, S.P. (author)On-demand mobility services (FLEX) are often proposed as a solution for the first/last mile problem. We study the potential of using FLEX to improve train station access by means of a three-step sequential stated preference survey. We compare FLEX with the bicycle, car and public transport for accessing two alternative train stations. We...journal article 2023

Zhao, Zheyu (author), Cheng, H. (author), Xu, Xiaohua (author)Massive terminal users have brought explosive need of data residing at edge of overall network. Multiple Mobile Edge Computing (MEC) servers are built in/near base station to meet this need. However, optimal distribution of these servers to multiple users in real time is still a problem. Reinforcement Learning (RL) as a framework to solve...conference paper 2023

Noori, Negar (author), Hoppe, T. (author), de Jong, M.F.H. (author), Stamhuis, Evert (author)In the quest for Smart City (SC) development, numerous examples of ‘good practices’ have circulated in national and international policy arenas. Learning from good practices elsewhere is a common approach for cities to initiate and develop SC policies of their own. Nevertheless, because of political, legal and cultural differences across...journal article 2023

Cui, Kairui (author)Compared to traditional public transport, ride-hailing makes it possible for people to get a more comfortable and faster riding experience with a higher fare. Ride-sharing fall in between the two, offering a discount at the price level of ride-hailing, yet operates with more detours and less comfortable experience. In this study, with different...student report 2022

Freije, Arjan (author)The fifteen-minute city (FMC) concept aims to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, improve urban liveability and free up space by promoting a modal shift from car to active modes. According to theory, the proximity of all basic needs should have a maximum travel time of 15 minutes by bike or foot to achieve the FMC goals. However, basic needs are...master thesis 2022

Theodoridis, Nander (author)With increasing urbanization and a need to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, new forms of urban mobility are studied worldwide. An interesting transportation method is ridesharing, where people can share parts of their rides with other passengers travelling in a similar direction in the same car. To im- prove the attraction of ridesharing systems...master thesis 2022
