Dr. M. (Maaike) Snelder

Profile

Maaike Snelder is part time associate professor at the Department of Transport and Planning, Civil Engineering at the Delft University of Technology and principal scientist at TNO. Maaike is principal investigator in the NWO projects ToGRIP and SUMMALab and lead scientist in several other large projects focusing on the development of next generation traffic and transport models and the development of interactive network design methods. Maaike teaches the course Resilient Transport Systems and gives guest lectures in several other courses. Maaike completed her PhD research about robust road network design in 2010 (Cum Laude) and completed her study Econometrics in 2003.

Research

My research focuses on impact assessment and design of traffic and transport networks with a special interest in the resilience of networks and the impact of new mobility concepts like automated vehicles and shared mobility. Maaike has a broad experience in the development and application of (data-driven) static and dynamic, strategic and real-time traffic transport models and optimization models for network design. For example, she developed the new mobility modeler to assess impacts of new mobility concepts, she developed an optimization and impact assessment model for robust road network design, she oversaw the development of the first real-time waterway traffic model for the canals of Amsterdam and lead the development of prediction and smart routing models in the context of the ‘Praktijkproef’ (field trial) in Amsterdam.
