This thesis concludes Femke Mureau’s Master of Science in Transport, Infrastructure and Logistics at TU Delft. In response to the growing challenge of urban densification, this research investigates how residents of low-car neighbourhoods adapt to sustainable mobility measures, particularly when… Read More »The impact of low-car residential neighbourhoods on mobility behaviour
This thesis represents the final project that completed Adri Hooijer’s Master’s degree in Civil Engineering at TU Delft, within the Traffic & Transport Engineering track. Responding to the historical prioritization of automobiles in urban planning, this research investigates the city-wide… Read More »The impact of large-scale parking capacity reductions on bicycle and public transportation demand
Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) offers a fast, cost-effective alternative to rail, improving public transport and promoting sustainable mobility. BRT implementation requires stop upgrades and investments across multiple municipalities with different priorities. This study presents a model for optimising BRT routes… Read More »BUS RAPID TRANSIT NETWORK DESIGN: PLANNING ROUTES ANDUPGRADING STOPS AMONG MULTIPLE MUNICIPALITIES
This thesis marks the completion of Sander van Heyningen’s Master’s degree in Civil Engineering at TU Delft, specifically within the Traffic and Transportation track. Motivated by the impact of high car usage on urban liveability, this research explores the concept… Read More »Modelling changing travel behaviour in response to road capacity reductions
The monitoring of large crowds is essential to optimize traffic flows, ensure safety at large-scale events, and plan effective evacuation routes during emergencies. However, such monitoring rightfully leads to privacy concerns, especially when tracking individuals rather than groups. Existing approaches… Read More »Stop watching me! Moving from data protection to privacy preservation in crowd monitoring
Existing activity-based and agent-based simulations alone often failed to capture the interaction between individual activity scheduling and detailed urban traffic dynamics. ActivitySim provides a representation of individual activity schedulings but often lacks detailed traffic dynamics, whereas MATSim can capture detailed… Read More »An Activity- and Agent-based Co-Simulation Framework Integrating ActivitySim and MATSim for the MRDH Region, Netherlands
This thesis was the final project that completed Van Veens Master’s program in Transportation, Infrastructure, and Logistics at Delft University of Technology. In response to the automobile-oriented urban street designs, this study explores the implementation of “Fair Streets” in school… Read More »Implementing Fair Streets for school zones in the Netherlands
This thesis marks the end of Van der Lee’s in Complex Systems Engineering and Management at Delft University of Technology. While cars are deeply ingrained in society, their usage imposes costs on cities and residents. Many cities aim to reduce… Read More »Success factors and barriers in car reduction
Dynamic road space allocation is gaining attention in transportation planning as cities face space constraints, population growth, and demand for sustainable designs. Many cities aim to reduce car dependency gradually, but this shift could impact vulnerable groups like the elderly… Read More »Old Dog, New Tricks: The effect of dynamic road implementation on elder accessibility
Urbanization, shrinking transport space, and rising vehicle numbers challenge urban accessibility, leading to congestion, pollution, and longer commutes. To address this, low-car urban zones and multi-modal traffic management—incorporating cycling, walking, shared mobility, and public transport—are vital. However, balancing conflicting stakeholder… Read More »Augmented ε-Constraint-Based Optimization for Multi-Objective Multi-Modal Transport Networks Management
