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
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
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
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… Read More »Well-being Indicators for Car-Free Policies
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… Read More »Optimizing Parking Capacities in Urban Areas
