Insightful publications from XCARCITY or affiliated to XCARCITY will over the course of the project appear on this page. Together they will form an important backbone to the research done together, and vital building stones towards a tomorrow where cities will be relieved of the abundancy of cars.
Parking in Macroscopic Transport Models: Modelling Parking Capacities in Traffic Assignment
TNO developed a methodology to include parking in macroscopic traffic assignment. This methodology, using parking links and parking capacities, allows cities in the XCARCITY programme to explore policy measures and designs that offer different parking options. The impact of these measures on the number of cars parked per area can be determined, and impacts of…
Setting the Price for Carsharing
With his thesis – ‘Setting the Price for Carsharing: A Cost-Benefit Analysis of Equitable Carsharing in the Car-free Neighbourhood of Merwede’ – Leonardo concludes the master’s programme Transport, Infrastructure & Logistics at the TU Delft. Space is getting scarce. That’s why XCARCITY develops different ways to create car-free neighbourhoods. In his insightful research Leonardo investigates pricing strategies for business-to-consumer…
Well-being Indicators for Car-Free Policies
After almost six and a half years of studying, this thesis marked the end of Ruben Verbeeke’s journey at the TU Delft. In his thesis, Verbeeke developed a process for selecting and operationalising well-being indicators for the evaluation of car-free policies. The thesis reveals among other things that well-being indicators prove to be more insightful…
Optimizing Parking Capacities in Urban Areas
With this master thesis Tygo Nijsten of the University of Amsterdam aims to optimize parking capacities in an urban area with three specific goals in mind: minimize fossil fuel emissions, minimize travel times, and minimize the space occupied by parking facilities. A very interesting challenge since the three goals can go against each other. He…
