Thaddäus Weißhaar received two distinctions in 2024 for his master’s thesis, Unravelling Night Train Travel Behaviour: A Stated Preference Survey into the Influence of Operational and Personal Factors.
The European Platform of Transport Sciences awarded him the European Friedrich List Award. KIVI subsequently awarded him the second Cuperus Prize; the Cuperus Prize ceremony took place on 6 November 2024.
The thesis was completed in the MSc Transport, Infrastructure and Logistics programme at Delft University of Technology before he began his doctoral research with ORBIT. It used stated-preference and discrete-choice methods to examine passenger preferences for night-train services.
