Van februari 2003 tot januari 2025 werkte ik aan de TU Delft als hoogleraar Transportbeleid. Wat zijn belangrijke trends in ontwikkelingen, in onderzoek en beleid? Dit artikel geeft een beknopt en selectief overzicht van enkele dominante onderwerpen, met het accent op personenver ...
A biased preference for the status quo could explain the increased support for policies following their implementation. However, the influence of status quo bias on support for transport policies has been analysed to a limited extent only. The counterfactual test serves as a pote ...

Understanding the role of socio-cultural influences on cycling in Auckland

This research investigates the influence of socio-cultural factors and sociodemographic characteristics on bicycle use in Auckland, a multi-cultural city in New Zealand. To identify the strength of socio-cultural factors compared to other various social psychological determinants ...
The aim of this conceptual paper is to contribute to a better understanding of the front-end phase of large public projects, which is complex and non-linear. The point of departure relates to a number of paradoxes found along the way of the front-end. A processual approach is tak ...
Based on three decades of personal experience this paper provides suggestions for researchers who consider to have contacts with policy makers, politicians, and the media (PPM actors). The point of departure is that such contacts may be beneficial for researchers and their instit ...

Perceived accessibility by air transportation

A focus group study of potential air travelers in The Netherlands

This study explores perceived accessibility specific to air transportation in the Dutch context through a focus group study. Five focus group sessions were held with a total of 24 participants with air travel experience within the past five years. Online focus groups were held du ...

Stuck in the driver’s seat

A conceptualisation for understanding car dependence and its determinants

Car dependence brings along many negative social and environmental externalities that policymakers and stakeholders need to consider. Nonetheless, the concept is not well defined and lacks a clear framework regarding its determinants and mechanisms, which also leads to problems i ...
Car sharing contributes to reducing emissions, resource depletion, and land take, by promoting more efficient use of vehicles that on average sit idle 96% of the time. But consumer adoption remains limited. User segmentation studies can inform efforts to mobilize potential users ...
This study aims to evaluate equity in cycling initiatives and their operational challenges by reviewing a wide range of cycling initiatives implemented in Auckland, New Zealand. The effectiveness of current initiatives with respect to various target groups or resulting beneficiar ...

The first mile towards access equity

Is on-demand microtransit a valuable addition to the transportation mix in suburban communities?

As cities grow, the benefits of living in them are increasingly unequally distributed. USA cities, in particular, have experienced rapid suburbanization of poverty and decreased levels of access to jobs for transit-dependent and vulnerable communities. The public transit challeng ...
Air transportation is a mode of transport developed specifically to provide access to long-distance destinations that may otherwise be infeasible or at least more difficult to reach. Accordingly, there are distinct aspects of air travel that require consideration when assessing a ...
Latent Class Analysis was used on the 2018/19 Dutch National Travel dataset to assess travel behaviour profiles and its connection with sociodemographic and spatial factors to grasp travel patterns in a more holistic context than previous research

Cycling speed variation

A multilevel model of characteristics of cyclists, trips and route tracking points

Smooth cycling can improve the competitiveness of bicycles. Understanding cycling speed variation during a trip reveals the infrastructure or situations which promote or prevent smooth cycling. However, research on this topic is still limited. This study analyses speed variation ...
Ensuring equity is considered in all types of decision making, including with respect to cycling provision, is important. Studies have investigated equity in relation to provision of cycling infrastructure and facilities. However, identifying other factors that need consideration ...

The Transport System and Transport Policy

An Introduction, Second Edition

This extensively updated textbook introduces the transport system and its societal impacts in a holistic and multidisciplinary way. A timely second edition, it includes new analyses of travel behaviour and the transport system’s impacts on health and well-being.

Literature review papers

The search and selection process

In an earlier publication (Van Wee & Banister, 2016), we explained that literature review papers (LRP) should explicitly report on the search and selection process of documents included. In this paper, we present two approaches for reporting the methodology for doing this: a ...
Transport models have been defined in many ways and there are various kinds of models. In this chapter, a model is defined as a simplified representation of part of reality. The main goal of models is to estimate the behaviour of the real system in different scenarios (see Chapte ...

Differences in levels of accessibility

The importance of spatial scale when measuring distributions of the accessibility of health and emergency services

This paper explores to what extent inequalities in travel times, measured via the Gini index, depend on the spatial scale at which (average) travel times are measured. By using the new concept of Dedicated Accessibility Points, for the Netherlands we calculated average travel tim ...
This study explores the effectiveness of cycling initiatives in encouraging bicycle usage, and the relationship with sociodemographic characteristics amongst residents of the multi-cultural city of Auckland, New Zealand. The study considered regular cyclists, potential cyclists, ...
