Connection to Vincent(engineering staff) [1]

- A engineering staff lives in Rotterdam Central. He pointed out beside a lack of commercial and entertainment functions, transportation remains as a big problem. This implies the local needs and potentials for a transportation hub.

After the interview, a dig into the transport system has been carried out......

Inland line E-G: Ferries from Veer Erasmusbrug to Veer Stormpolder to ......, departure at every :10 and :40, 7:10 to 10:10

Watertaxi 1: the Veerhaven and the Leuvehaven to Hotel New York, 7:00 to 0:00, 12 passengers, 60 km/h

Watertaxi 2: Maastaxi on 30 docks, 7:00 to 0:00, 12 passengers, 60 km/h

• This ferry access is the only regular shipping access on site at present. The whole line takes approximately 25min. The ferry has a maximum capacity of 150 passengers, and the number of passengers changes as the chart below. The average amount of passengers is 850/day on weekdays and 420/day on weekends.

Project09-project(s)

New transport demands

New projects on RDM site generate new transport demands. The example data below came from several key projects with ability to attract considerable non-local passengers.

• Babel Tower [[2]]: 50 fixed residents, 200-1000 daily visitors;

Rejuvenative Sandwich [[3]]: 3000㎡，500 daily visitors;

NEW sPARKs [[4]]: 30 hotel rooms, 40 residents, 100 visitors;

lusthof [[5]]: 80 daily(night) visitors;

• Reizen Drijvende Markt [[6]]: 1000 daily visitors;

Variations [[7]]: 100-200 daily visitors;

DwellingGrower [[8]]: 40 fixed residents;

Water Morphs [[9]]: 100-200 daily visitors;

• Floating Theater [[10]]: 500-600 per show.

After all it is nearly impossible to predict the a precised number. But considering the needs of the projects with "*", especially the Theater, the transport amount within 30min would better exceed 600. That is, if 1 ferry carries 150 passengers, we 4 ferries in half an hour, at least in rush hours. And project like Lusthof attract special visitors at certain time. Let me see if I can get them some international tourists!

Project-object(s) Transitions

Connection to shipping line [11]

- As the Transportation Hub, this project should be connected directly and physically to the shipping line

Connection to the village Heijplaat [12]

- The Transportation Hub will assume the doorway of the village
