Assessing the travel impacts of subnetworks for automated driving
An exploratory study
This study explores a network configuration concept for vehicle automation levels 3–4 (according to SAE classifications) in an urban road network having mixed traffic and demonstrates its potential impacts. We assume automated driving will be allowed on a selection of roads. For

Identification and quantification of link vulnerability in multi-level public transport networks
A passenger perspective
Robust public transport networks are important, since disruptions decrease the public transport accessibility of areas. Despite this importance, the full passenger impacts of public transport network vulnerability have not yet been considered in science and practice. We have deve

Mobility impacts of early forms of automated driving
A system dynamic approach
Modern cars are increasingly being equipped with automated driving functions. For governments it is important to gain insight in the mobility impacts of automated vehicles. This is important as the introduction of automated vehicles affects current investment decisions about infr

The impact of route guidance, departure time, and alternative routes on door-to-door travel time reliability
Two data-driven assessment methods
Conventional travel time reliability assessment has evolved from road segments to route level. However, a connection between origin and destination usually consists of multiple routes, thereby providing the option to choose. Having alternatives can compensate for deterioration of

Estimating Choice Models to Quantify the Effect of Herding on the Decision to Evacuate
Application of a Serious Gaming Experimental Setup
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

Vehicle Choice and System Performance: The Influence of a Dynamic Pricing User-Based Relocation Strategy
Stated Choice and Field Experiments in a Free-floating E-moped Sharing System
Free-floating moped sharing systems are becoming more and more popular and provide new ways to travel inside urban areas. The vehicles offer the flexibility of one-way transportation, though the downside is that it creates a spatiotemporal imbalance of the vehicle distribution wi

Public transport nodes at airports
A method to clarify the challenges of public transport nodes at airports
As the airports keep on growing, the need to offer sufficient landside public transport access becomes more important. When the public transport stations at airports have a hub function within the network, challenges arise that need to be identified. Within this thesis report, a

Bus Rapid Transit, Safety, and Roundabouts
Evaluation of design solutions for roundabouts with Bus Rapid Transit based on safety and level of service of all modes
The popularity of Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) has been growing rapidly over the past years, where more and more cities add BRT to their public transport systems. Roundabouts are also growing and are popular intersection designs because they are one of the safest types of intersection

Adding new modes to existing transport demand gravity models
Methodology for adding disaggregate discrete choice parameters to an aggregate gravity model
This thesis describes a methodology for adding information about the preferences for new modes from external discrete choice models to exisiting transport demand gravity models. The methodology consists of 4 steps: (i) translation of deterrence functions towards discrete choice u

A Firm Population Synthesis Model for Urban Freight Transport Demand Modeling
A Part of Micro-simulation Freight Transport Model for the Province of South Holland
The agent - based modeling of freight transport that captures both the variety of actors and their complex decisions has not made as much progress as in passenger transport. Efforts towards agent-based models must include firms. However, the synthesis of a firm population in the

Analysing Mobility Hubs using Microsimulation Travel Demand Model
The case of OCTAVIUS
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

What first? Public transport or houses?
A study on the development timing of public transport in a residential area
Modern cities are seeking possibilities to create healthy, sustainable and liveable urban environments. Yet these endeavours should not come at the expense of the accessibility of the city. Therefore, many cities try to promote the use of sustainable modes of transportation by de

Consumer mobility as a result of e-commerce
A structural equation modelling approach to estimate consumer mobility from shopping attitude and orientation preferences
The effects of e-commerce on consumer mobility are studied by means of a structural equation modelling analysis. Shopping value and orientation preferences directly affect shopping frequency in the online and offline environment, besides an indirect effect from shopping value via

Is Telecommuting Our New Mode of Transportation?
A System Dynamic Approach Into The Mobility Impacts Of COVID-19
The COVID-19 pandemic has changed travel behaviour and mobility in the Netherlands. It is questioned if the mobility system is subject to long-lasting change in the near and distant future. This study aims to observe the development of mobility impacts over time with a quantitati

Polder system Can Tho City
Impact of the urban polder on Can Tho City
Vietnam is one of the five countries that is severely affected by the consequences of climate change. The extreme weather conditions and the increase of the sea level results in floods in the Mekong Delta, located in the South of Vietnam. Can Tho city, found in the heart of the M

The Influence of Herding on Departure Choice in Case of an Evacuation
Design and Analysis of a Serious Gaming Experimental Set-up
Extensive research is available on travel choice behaviour which occurs during evacuations in case of natural disasters. Due to the disadvantages of existing data collection techniques, more research is needed to better understand evacuation choice behaviour. The main objective o

Exploring the Evolution of Passenger Characteristics Based on Smart Card Data
A Case Study of Shenzhen, China
Passenger travel characteristics (PTCs) are characteristics that are sought from the information contained in trips, such as travel frequency, travel mode, departure location, and etc. Understanding PTCs can help develop passenger-oriented planning and service policies, so analys
