Daamen, W. (author), van den Heuvel, Jeroen P.A. (author), Knoop, V.L. (author), Hoogendoorn, S.P. (author)The macroscopic fundamental diagram (MFD) relates the flow, density and speed of an entire network. So far, the MFD has been mostly applied to cases where pedestrians and vehicles were aiming to reach their destinations as fast as possible. However, pedestrian facilities involve different behaviours. Especially in train stations, travellers...conference paper 2019

Shu, Y. (author), Daamen, W. (author), Ligteringen, H. (author), Wang, M. (author), Hoogendoorn, S.P. (author)The Vessel Maneuvering Prediction (VMP) model, which was developed in a previous work with the aim of predicting the interaction between vessels in ports and waterways, is optimized in this paper by considering the relative position and vessel size (length and beam). The calibration is carried out using AIS data of overtaking vessels in the...journal article 2018

Wierbos, M.J. (author), Knoop, V.L. (author), Hanseler, F.S. (author), Hoogendoorn, S.P. (author)Traffic in urban environments often share the same infrastructure and in places with high cyclist volumes, such as in The Netherlands, the roads are used simultaneously by cyclists and cars. This creates a mixed traffic situation in which both modes can be the fastest moving one, depending on the traffic state. In low demand situations, cars...conference paper 2018

Ton, D. (author), Duives, D.C. (author), Cats, O. (author), Hoogendoorn, S.P. (author)Specifying the choice set for travel behaviour analysis is a non-trivial task. Its size and composition are known to influence the results of model estimation and prediction. Most studies specify the choice set using choice set generation algorithms. These methods can introduce two types of errors to the specified choice set: false negative ...journal article 2018

van den Berg, M. (author), van Nes, R. (author), Hoogendoorn, S.P. (author)Insight into factors influencing the choices people make in case of an evacuation from a natural disaster can help governments and emergency management personnel to manage people in case of such a situation. One of the aspects that influences the choices that people make in such a situation is herding. Since herding has not been quantified,...journal article 2018

van Erp, P.B.C. (author), Knoop, V.L. (author), Hoogendoorn, S.P. (author)This article presents a procedure to estimate the macroscopic traffic state in a pre-defined space-time mesh using relative flow data collected by stationary and moving observers. The procedure consist of two consecutive and independent processes: (1) estimate point observations of the cumulative vehicle number in space-time, i.e., N(x, t),...journal article 2018

van Beinum, A.S. (author), Farah, H. (author), Wegman, F.C.M. (author), Hoogendoorn, S.P. (author)In the vicinity of ramps, drivers make route choices, change lanes and in most cases also adjust their speeds. This can trigger anticipatory behaviour by the surrounding vehicles, which are also reflected in lane changes and/or changes in speed. This phenomenon is called turbulence and is widely recognised by the scientific literature and...journal article 2018

van de Weg, Goof Sterk (author), Vu, Hai L. (author), Hegyi, A. (author), Hoogendoorn, S.P. (author)In this paper, we develop a hierarchical approach to optimize the signal timings in an urban traffic network taking into account the different dynamics in all traffic regimes. The proposed hierarchical control framework consists of two layers. The first layer--the network coordination layer--uses a model predictive control strategy based on a...journal article 2018

Duives, D.C. (author), Daamen, W. (author), Hoogendoorn, S.P. (author)Crowd monitoring systems are more and more used to support crowd management organizations. Currently, counting systems are often used to provide quantitative insights into the pedestrian traffic state, since they are fairly easy to install and the accuracy is reasonably good under normal conditions. However, there are no sensor systems that...journal article 2018

Calvert, S.C. (author), van Wageningen-Kessels, F.L.M. (author), Hoogendoorn, S.P. (author)The capacity drop forms a major reason why the prevention of congestion is targeted by traffic management, as lower capacities are detrimental to traffic throughput. Various reasons describing the dynamics behind the capacity have been described, however one of these, reaction times, has had less explicit attention when modelling on a...journal article 2018

Calvert, S.C. (author), Taale, Henk (author), Snelder, M. (author), Hoogendoorn, S.P. (author)In a bid to cost-effectively tackle congestion, traffic management is often seen as a key option to utilise road capacity. Prior to the application of traffic management measures, a-priori analysis allows the effectiveness of measures to be judged and where necessary adapted. However, current approaches do this without considering the effects...journal article 2018

Wierbos, M.J. (author), Goni Ros, B. (author), Knoop, V.L. (author), Hoogendoorn, S.P. (author)In many countries, an increasing number of people are using the bicycle for urban trips. The increased bicycle flow sometimes creates local congestion at intersections and demands better bicycle traffic management. To provide policy<br/>makers with models and advice on how to prevent congestion, an increased understanding of queue dynamics is...conference paper 2018

Bellsola Olba, X. (author), Daamen, W. (author), Vellinga, T. (author), Hoogendoorn, S.P.

High vessel flows and higher densities increase the relevance of the non-terminal related processes. Several simulation models have been developed in the recent decades with different goals, but their abilities to represent realistic vessel...journal article 2018

Yet, driving behavior on freeways, in particular lane changes and the relation with the choice of speed, is not well understood. To overcome this, an online survey has been carried out. Drivers were shown video clips, and after each clip they had to indicate what they would do after the moment...journal article 2018

In this paper, we propose an estimation approach to estimate the FD based on data from moving observers.

Durand, Anne (author), van Oort, N. (author), Hoogendoorn, S.P. (author)Unplanned disruptions in transit can have consequent impacts on passengers. The more inconvenienced passengers are, the more likely operators will be negatively impacted.

Yuan, Y. (author), Daamen, W. (author), Goni Ros, B. (author), Hoogendoorn, S.P.

Microscopic and macroscopic bicycle traffic models can be used to fulfill this need. However, fundamental knowledge on individual cyclist interaction behavior (which should underpin these...journal article 2018

Varotto, S.F. (author), Farah, H. (author), Toledo, Tomer (author), van Arem, B. (author), Hoogendoorn, S.P. (author)Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) and automated vehicles can contribute to reduce traffic congestion and accidents. Recently, an on-road study has shown that drivers may prefer to deactivate full-range ACC when closing in on a slower leader and to overrule it by pressing the gas pedal a few seconds after the activation of the system. Notwithstanding...journal article 2018
