Research Interests and Motivation

The movement of particles, individually driven, creating a flow with collective properties interests me. This could be granular matter, foam, but also birds, cars, or even currency. They all lead to very interesting collective behavior. Especially the phase transitions are interesting. When would traffic be called congested. Macroscopically, there are important differences between the dynamics of congested traffic and free-flowing traffic. At the other hand, if is difficult for one driver to tell whether he is driving in congestion or in free flow (at least, in heavy traffic it might be difficult). What interests me, scientifically, is how changes on the scale of the particles (vehicles, drivers) change the collective behavior of the flow. This also gives the societal interest: small changes in driving behavior might change the complete traffic pattern...

 

Contacting me for a student project

If you are interested in doing a project at the Delft University of Technology (graduate or undergraduate) with me, please contact me by e-mail. Make sure to include in your e-mail (1) a CV, (2) a desired period of working, (3) the funding you have yourself and the funding required from the Delft Univerisy of Technology. I get many request, and many of them are non-personal and are sent to others as well. So please (4) include a text which makes your e-mail stand out from the non-personal e-mails (anything, and if you are unsure what, add the numbers 555 in the topic, so I know you read this section...)

Software

Over the past years, I developed some software, mainly Matlab code which makes research a bit easier. I share some of them at the software site.

CV

Current position

Since 1 September 2012 Victor Knoop has a Tenure Track position as Assistant Professor at the Delft University of Technology, at the group Transport and Planning. His general activities relate to traffic flow modelling and, to a lesser extent, traffic control. He was recently awarded a prestigious personal grant (Veni) by the Netherlands National Science Foundation (NWO). The grant (250.000 euro) is awarded for the proposal "Integrated driving behavior theory and models: there is plenty of room in the other lane", which aims at studying drivers" behavior at motorways, combining lane changes and accelaration changes, and which effect this has on the traffic flow (Press release)
