Optimising settlement network topology to maximise socio-economic and biodiversity indicators
(2019)The continuous expansion of settlement areas and the growth of per capita utilization of environmental resources not only increases the pressure on natural habitats and their connectivity, but also affects the human-well-being. Analogous to habitat networks, settlements connected by roads and traffic form complex spatial networks. Polycentricity, which refers to the existence of multiple centres in the structure of a settlement network, ...Other Conference Item -

Avoiding stranded bicycles in free-floating bicycle-sharing systems: Using survival analysis to derive operational rules for rebalancing
(2019)In order to optimize operations and increase revenue, free-floating (electric) bicycle sharing operators periodically move bicycles to high demand areas (a process known as rebalancing). As rebalancing is time and cost intensive, an important question that arises, is which bikes should be moved and which bikes are expected to be booked by the users within an acceptable period of time. In this paper, two survival analysis methods are used ...Other Conference Item -

Expanding a (electric) bicycle-sharing system to a new city
(2020)2020 TRB Annual Meeting OnlineThe number of bicycle-sharing systems has undergone strong growth in the last two decades. This growth is part of a worldwide trend that has began in the 1990s and has strongly accelerated after 2005. Early bicycle-sharing systems have mainly been provided as a public service by cities, but meanwhile major international bicycle-sharing companies have emerged that seek to expand their operations to new cities. Two major strategic questions ...Other Conference Item
