Zhou, H. (author), Dorsman, J.L. (author), Mandjes, M. (author), Snelder, M. (author)Nowadays, many cities are intending to reduce the use of private vehicles. Governments are incorporating new mobility services and are adapting their parking policies to promote a more sustainable mobility, as both stra tegies are believed to have the potential to reduce private vehicle use.

On the use of common random numbers in activity-based travel demand modeling for scenario comparisonZhou, H. (author), Dorsman, J.L. (author), Mandjes, M. (author), Snelder, M. (author)Activity-based travel demand models provide a high level of detail when modeling complex travel behavior. Since stochastic simulation is used, however, this high level may induce large random fluctuations in the output, necessitating many model reruns to produce reliable output. This may become prohibitive in terms of computation time when...article 2023

van der Tuin, M.S. (author), Zhou, H. (author), Walraven, E.M.P. (author)A public transport (PT) trip is a multimodal trip by nature: always complemented by an access and egress leg, for example cycling or walking to the PT stop. Introduction of shared modes increases the available access- and egress- options and thereby the PT system as a whole is possibly improved. In order to investigate those effects an extension...conference paper 2022

(author)Demand Responsive Transit (DRT) can complement the future mobility system by providing additional point-to-point connections based on requests of the users. As a consequence, the liveability of a city might decrease when DRT vehicles introduce additional congestion due to deadheading (relocation of vehicles without transporting passengers). The...conference paper 2022

Zhou, H. (author), Dorsman, J.L. (author), Snelder, M. (author), de Romph, E. (author), Mandjes, M. (author)Activity-based travel demand models (ABMs) are gaining popularity in the field of traffic modeling because of their high level of detail compared to traditional travel demand models. Due to this, however, ABMs have high computational requirements, making ABMs hard to use for analysis and optimization purposes. We address this problem by relying...conference paper 2019

Salomons, E.M. (author), Lohman, W.J.A. (author), Zhou, H. (author)Propagation of sound waves in air can be considered as a special case of fluid dynamics. Consequently, the lattice Boltzmann method (LBM) for fluid flow can be used for simulating sound propagation. In this article application of the LBM to sound propagation is illustrated for various cases: free-field propagation, propagation over porous and...article 2016

Salomons, E.M. (author), Zhou, H. (author), Lohman, W.J.A. (author)Traffic noise mapping of cities requires large computer calculation times. This originates from the large number of point-to-point sound propagation calculations that must be performed. In this article it is demonstrated that noise mapping calculation times can be reduced considerably by the use of parallel computation on the Graphics Processing...conference paper 2014

Road traffic noise and annoyance: A quantification of the effect of quiet side exposure at dwellingsde Kluizenaar, Y. (author), Janssen, S.A. (author), Vos, H. (author), Salomons, E.M. (author), Zhou, H. (author), van den Berg, F. (author)Previous studies indicate that residents may benefit from a "quiet side" to their dwellings. The influence of the level of road traffic noise exposure at the least exposed side on road traffic noise annoyance was studied in Amsterdam, The Netherlands. Road traffic noise exposure was assessed at the most and least exposed façade (Lden,most and...article 2013
