Validation of travel demand models, although recognised as important, is seldom undertaken. This study adds to the scarce literature in this field by undertaking an external validation of a multi-modal transit route choice model. The model was estimated using smart card data f ...

Perceived travel times of travelers are usually longer than actually realized travel times, implying that passengers’ experience of travel time savings is different from objectively calculated savings. This study provides additional empirical evidence on this topic, by compari ...

We evaluate a large scale network change in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, where a regional network of many direct bus lines is replaced by a new metro line as a trunk line and buses serving as feeder lines. For the analysis we use realized trip times from automated vehicle location ...

Circuity of transit networks, defined as the ratio of network to Euclidean distance traveled from origin to destination stop, has been known to influence travel behavior. In addition to the longer time spent in travel, for networks where fare is based on distance traveled, hig ...

Capturing unobserved correlation between overlapping routes is a non-trivial problem in route choice modelling. For urban transit networks, research so far has been inconclusive on how this overlap is perceived by travellers. We estimate a series of path size correction logit ...

Multi-city exploration of built environment and transit mode use

Comparison of Melbourne, Amsterdam and Boston

The built environment is an important determinant of travel demand and mode choice. Establishing the relationship between the built environment and transit use using direct models can help planners predict the impact of neighborhood-level changes, that are otherwise overlooked. H ...

The north-south metro line in Amsterdam became operational in summer 2018, accompanied by changes to the existing bus, metro, and tram network in the city. In this paper we undertake an ex-post analysis of the transportation impacts of the network change. Using two sets of sma ...

Urban transit networks typically consist of multiple modes and the journeys may involve a transfer within or across modes. Therefore, the passenger experience of travel time reliability is based on the whole journey experience including the transfers. Although the impact of trans ...

De impact van de Noord/Zuidlijn in Amsterdam

Vergelijking van reizigers en reistijden

De Noord/Zuidlijn (NZL) is een nieuwe metroverbinding die sinds juli 2018 de noord- en zuidzijde van Amsterdam met elkaar verbindt. In een omvangrijke, vier jaar durende, studie worden de vervoerkundige, ruimtelijke en economische effecten onderzocht. Deze paper beschrijft de eff ...
In daily practice, public transport authorities and operators are constantly searching for improvements in public transport operations. To this end, it is necessary to identify inefficiencies and bottlenecks in the current public transport services. In this paper, we propose a me ...

On July 22nd 2018 the Noord/Zuidlijn, a metro line crossing the city center of Amsterdam, became operative. This entailed a transformation from a direct bus and tram network to a network consisting of a metro trunk line and bus and tram feeder lines. This study explores and uses ...

The Integrated Station

A transfer quality assessment model for multimodal stations

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 stu ...
