The future of public transport

Every year in the advanced public transport course, students write an essay on the future of public transport. Passenger association ROVER selects the best one according to the passengers’ perspective. The authors of the winning essay are invited to record a podcast with Geert Kloppenburg in his Metroplitan Podcast series.

HUBgebruiker als uitgangspunt voor ontwerp

Mobiliteitshubs lijken het nieuwste wapen in de strijd om mobiliteit duurzamer en aangenamer te maken. Maar voor wie maken we die hubs?

Smart Public Transport Lab

Wij geloven dat het openbaar vervoer een cruciale rol speelt in de ontwikkeling van aantrekkelijke, bereikbare en duurzame steden en regio’s.  Het Smart Public Transport Lab van de TU Delft ontwikkelt nieuwe oplossingen en methoden voor de planning, exploitatie en het beheer van openbaar vervoer.

In het Smart Public Transport Lab zijn we gepassioneerd over het uitvoeren van wetenschappelijk onderzoek van hoog niveau met een praktische relevantie en impactvolle resultaten.  Welkom aan boord!

Public Transport Reliability: podcast and book chapter

This podcast and book chapter discuss the elements of service reliability, the impact of service reliability on passengers, indicators that are used to measure reliability and variability, and how to make improvements. In this episode of the podcast Niels van Oort talks about the research behind the handbook chapter, including his PhD thesis and subsequent work. Some of the topics discussed are: the factors that can impact service reliability; the need for perspectives across strategic, tactical and operational levels; and bridging the gaps between front-line staff, management and researchers.  Data sets, modelling and the practicality of optimal solutions are also discussed.

Insights into the bicycle-train combination: welcome on board!

The bicycle as an access and egress mode to and from train stations offers multiple (societal) benefits. A recent study shows that > 60% of the Dutch population who use the combined mode, actually do have the availability of a car, but experience more benefits by using the bicycle+train combination. International studies show that the introduction of shared bicycle systems enabled a shift from car up to 20%. A strong relation with public transport was recommended.

Next to the benefits for the passenger, societal benefits are also widely, namely regarding accessibility, health, safety and sustainability. To conclude, good access and egress facilities also enable to improve the efficiency and quality of public transport networks.

However, good implementation requires attention to up to 40 factors, ranging to safe cycling routes, user characteristics and related preferences and quality of public transport and competing modes. To learn about these and overcome the barriers, we discuss multiple aspects of the combination in detail.

Standing E-Scooters, what to expect?

Standing E-scooters are an emerging mode of transport, for which shared e-scooter-suppliers claim that  it is part of the solution for a sustainable and liveable city. However, little is known about the impact of these vehicles that can be expected when e-scooters are launched. In this paper we show the results of a research exploring impacts and supporting implementation in the Netherlands, also useful for other cities and countries that consider introduction of e-scooters.
