Studied industrial engineering in Switzerland (FH Nordwestschweiz) from 2005 to 2009. Apprenticeship in electronics at Siemens from 2000 to 2004.

In the coming decade(s), there will be invested on a large scale in the housing objectives in the Netherlands. This will be done mainly in inner-city areas, which will bring major challenges in the field of mobility. Thorough research into the traffic effects is therefore of great importance in order to properly monitor the developments of urban mobility. Pedestrians play an increasingly important role here. At Goudappel I have studied the position of the pedestrian and we have developed several tools to map the future of the pedestrian, among other things. One of our recent innovations is the Dutch Walking Flow Model (Loopstromenmodel), which serves as a tool for creating a pedestrian network. During the live session I will be happy to present how the model works and what the applicable possibilities are.
