Willem Himpe
ResearcherWillem Himpe is a civil engineer specialising in traffic. Until June 2021, he combined his work at TML with a part-time position as a doctoral assistant at KU Leuven. Willem focuses on dynamic traffic models, mobility analyses, and innovative data collection, such as deriving travel patterns based on mobile data and navigation services. He was closely involved as a system developer in the expansion of Telraam and has since led the research concerning Traffic Scout. Willem also used these tools to estimate Flemish and Brussels traffic volumes at the annual level within the Flomovia project.

Traffic light control systems: an overview
An overview of all traffic light control systems TML developed.

Lubbeek smart region
For the municipality of Lubbeek, we collaborated on a digital twin to map traffic flows and bicycle safety in order to measure the impact of future road infrastructure modifications.

Support MDVM
Dynamic traffic models capture travel times and traffic jams in a realistic manner and are therefore ideally suited for scenario analyses at local and regional level to support dynamic traffic management.

Traffic Scout
TML developed a simplified traffic model that uses Telraam data to analyse local mobility interventions in collaboration with citizens.

MOMENTUM
TML developed a toolkit for modelling emerging transport modes and technologies.

Management system for the traffic lights in Antwerp
We collaborated on the development and implementation of an innovative traffic management and control strategy.

OptiRoutS
This project used a combination of classical traffic models and artificial intelligence to develop a predictive model for real-time traffic situations.

ClairCity
We participated in reducing air pollution in cities, a citizen-centred project.

Dynamic Traffic Model Antwerp
TML collaborated on a macroscopic dynamic traffic model (MDVM) for Antwerp.

Construction macroscopic dynamic traffic model Vlaamse Rand
We collaborated on a macroscopic dynamic traffic model for the Brussels region.

SECREDAS
What is the safety, reliability, and privacy of fully automated vehicles and robotic equipment?

Mobility Management with ANPR
How can ANPR cameras be used for mobility management?

WeCount
Citizens Observing UrbaN Transport.

Transport models for air quality
Can alternative approaches to generate transport volumes provide sufficient quality to feed air quality models?

AMALFI: Autonomous Measurement Network for the Analysis of Liveable Cycling Infrastructure
The AMALFI project will use low-cost sensors, ad hoc video analysis, and innovative modelling techniques to realise detailed functional use analysis of cycling infrastructure.

FLOMOVIA
TML will update and apply the FLOMOVIA tool to calculate vehicle performance in Flanders.

Telraam
We developed and implemented crowd-sourced, automated traffic counts with low-cost equipment.

TML'ers have their say! #4
In this section we would like to introduce you to our colleagues at TML. This way you get to know us a little better and discover what everyone within TML is doing. Recently we had a conversation with Willem, Dirk, Kris, and Hanne!
