Winnie Daamen

Dr. Winnie Daamen is an Associate Professor at the Department of Transport & Planning, Faculty of Civil Engineering and Geosciences at Delft University of Technology. Her research focuses on active modes (pedestrian and cycling traffic), data-driven traffic behavior analysis, and modeling. She leads projects like the Urban Mobility Observatory (UMO) and contributes to crowd monitoring dashboards for Amsterdam. She chairs the Binding Study Advice committee for Civil Engineering and teaches courses on empirical analysis and ports/waterways.

Daamen's expertise spans vessel traffic modeling, traffic flow theory, and evacuation dynamics. She organizes international conferences (e.g., Pedestrian and Evacuation Dynamics 2014) and serves on committees like the Transportation Research Board’s Traffic Flow Theory and Characteristics. Her work integrates safety, efficiency, and sustainability in urban mobility systems.
