It means ‘only visual evidence is convincing’. The essence of this idiom goes back to St. Thomas`s claim to Christ whereupon the later responded that there were those who had not seen but believed. Seen evidence however can be easily and correctly interpreted (Rohrer, 2000).

In het kader van dit streven zijn drie deelproblemen benoemd: de grote behoefte aan woningen (zowel kwantitatief, als kwalitatief) in de Noordelijke Randstad; de eenzijdige oriëntatie van de stad Almere, capaciteitsknelpunten op de weg en het spoor van en naar Almere, en een voorzieningenniveau dat achterblijft bij de omvang van de groeiende stad; het verslechterde ecologisch systeem van het Markermeer-IJmeer, met een lage kwaliteit, een geringe biodiversiteit en, mede daardoor, beperkte recreatiemogelijkheden. Rijk en regio willen deze problemen samen aanpakken. In dit kader heeft het kabinet in de RAAM- brief van november 2009 een principebesluit genomen tot een drievoudige ambitie voor de verdere ontwikkeling van de regio, als een van de belangrijke locaties om in de toekomstige woningbehoefte van de Noordelijke Randstad te voorzien. De drievoudige ambitie bestaat uit: de ontwikkeling van Almere als sociaal, economisch en ecologisch duurzame stad, die met 60.000 woningen is gegroeid; het realiseren van de bijbehorende ontsluiting; en het realiseren van een Toekomst Bestendig Ecologisch Systeem in het Markermeer-IJmeer. Het kabinet gaat een Rijksstructuurvisie opstellen voor het gebied om het rijks- en ruimtelijk beleid voor deze regio te borgen, en te zorgen voor een financieel en planologisch kader.

  • Introducing Spitsmijden – Experiments with Peak Avoidance Incentives in the Netherlands
    Introducing Spitsmijden – Experiments with peak avoidance incentives in the Netherlands Executive Summary The aim of this paper is to review peak hour avoidance incentives in the Netherlands, which are collectively referred to as the “spitsmijden” experiments. Locations of these experiments are illustrated in Figure 1. Figure 1: Locations of spitsmijden experiments in the Netherlands (extracted from Bliemer et al (2010)) In these experiments, financial incentives of between 2 to 7 Euros per day were offered to selected travellers if they avoided travelling at peak times. Initial results suggest the incentives have had a major effect on travel behaviour, with approximately 20‐50% of participants either changing their departure time, switching routes, or shifting to another transport mode. In addition to their effectiveness, the voluntary nature of peak avoidance incentives means they are more positively received than traditional road pricing schemes, which use negative price signals to achieve the same outcomes. Peak avoidance incentives do suffer from several drawbacks, of which the most important is the likelihood that induced demand will, in the long run, neutralise de‐congestion benefits. Peak avoidance incentives also have negative impacts on public finances – raising the question of how they are to be funded. In our opinion, peak hour incentives have extremely high potential when used to manage localised instances of non‐recurring congestion – such as that associated with road works, large events, and seasonal patterns. Lessons from the spitsmijden experiments have implications that extend beyond just road congestion. Similar, targeted incentives could, for example, be offered to encourage peak spreading from public transport users. The remainder of this article is structure as follows: First we provide a background to the concept of peak avoidance incentives; second we summarise and interpret key results from the spitsmijden experiments; and finally we identify potential issues with peak avoidance incentives.

  • Totaalplan Spoor 24 2.14 Relatie Tot De Woningbouwopgave 25
    Voorwoord De huidige klimaatmaatregelen zijn onvoldoende om de doelen van 2030 te halen laat staan een klimaatneutraal Nederland. Zeker op het gebied van mobiliteit zijn nog veel extra stappen nodig daarbij hebben we onder andere ook te maken met een stikstofcrisis en druk op de beperkte ruimte in Nederland. Een integrale aanpak van vele problemen gelijktijdig is daarbij een interessante optie. Al voor de coronacrisis waren er zorgen over het toekomstig duurzaam verdienvermogen van de Nederlandse economie wat geleid heeft tot het instellen van een nationaal groeifonds. Infrastructuur is een van de investeringsgebieden die hiervoor in aanmerking komen. In de eerste beoordelingsronde zijn voornamelijk losstaande projecten in beeld gekomen. Helaas nog geen projecten die echt zorgen voor een schaalsprong in de bereikbaarheid van vooral ook regio’s waarvan het potentieel van de economie in grote mate onderbenut is gebleven door gebrekkige bereikbaarheid. Voor toekomstige economische ontwikkeling is een samenhangend geheel van duurzame infrastructuur met goed landelijke dekking en internationale aansluiting van groot belang. Dit rapport geeft een visie op de bereikbaarheid per spoor en welke uitbreidingen nodig zijn om het spoornetwerk flink te verbeteren. Veel bestaande plannen zijn hierin verwerkt, maar ook ontbrekende schakels die nog niet of zeer weinig in beeld zijn. Daarbij wordt uitgebreid stil gestaan bij de internationale bereikbaarheid en worden ook per grensovergang de mogelijkheden besproken. Hierbij worden ook stappen benoemd die van belang zijn om te gaan onderhandelen met andere landen. Dit rapport is anders dan verruit de meeste rapporten niet opgesteld door een standaard commercieel bureau en bied daarmee een verfrissende blik op de kansen van het spoor om een mobiliteitstransitie mogelijk te maken.

These public transport projects were typically not part of an integrated planning approach, and the CBA’s examined the costs and benefits of transport project only. In particular, the role of spatial planning or spatial developments in these CBA’s was ignored or not made explicit; i.e. land use is assumed to be fixed or does not differ between project alternatives. In recent years, however, integrated spatial and transport planning is receiving more attention in Dutch national policy making. In 2007, a national policy document, Randstad Urgent, was published, aiming to improve cooperation between national and regional governments and create joint policy decision making process for different spatial projects and transport infrastructure projects that are to be realised within the same region (Ministry of Transport Public Works and Water Management, 2007). The policy document focused on 40 projects within Randstad Area; the most urbanised region in the western part of the Netherlands.

Abstract Om bij grote bouwprojecten, zoals OV-SAAL, met vele onderlinge afhankelijkheden van tevoren te kunnen voorspellen wat de verwachte vertraging is, wordt in dit verslag een model ontwikkeld waarmee op voorhand van een project een inschatting gemaakt kan worden van de vertraging. De belangrijkste factor hierbij is de inschatting voor specifieke processen wat de kans is op te vroeg klaar zijn, op tijd klaar zijn, of vertraging oplopen. Het resultaat is dat een keten van processen eigenlijk zeer weinig kans heeft om op tijd klaar te zijn, en dat in de meeste tijd van de gevallen er een aantal uur vertraging wordt opgelopen. 1 Inhoudsopgave: 1.
