An Activity- and Agent-based Co-Simulation Framework Integrating ActivitySim and MATSim for the MRDH Region, Netherlands

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

Traffic Assignment of Multi-Modal Transport Networks Based on An Augmented Link-Based Super-Network Model

Multi-modal transport is increasingly popular with the advent of diverse traffic modes, presenting new challenges for transport researchers. This paper introduces an augmented link-based super-network approach to model multi-modal transport networks, addressing scalability and versatility limitations of conventional methods. By… Read More »Traffic Assignment of Multi-Modal Transport Networks Based on An Augmented Link-Based Super-Network Model

Old Dog, New Tricks: The effect of dynamic road implementation on elder accessibility 

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 

Augmented ε-Constraint-Based Optimization for Multi-Objective Multi-Modal Transport Networks Management

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

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… Read More »Parking in Macroscopic Transport Models: Modelling Parking Capacities in Traffic Assignment

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… Read More »Setting the Price for Carsharing
