Prerequisites
Basic programming, optimization, traffic planning and simulationIntended learning outcomes
The purpose of the course is to give insight to how the planning and operation of public transportation and railway traffic is carried out. The course is focusing on strategic aspects such as transport network planning, timetable construction, rolling stock planning and pricing, but it also includes traffic and delay management. The course is preparatory for research studies. After the course, the student shall be able to:
- describe state-of-the-art in research in planning of public transport and railway traffic.
- understand and describe relevant models and methods used to design a new transport network, evaluate this and discuss its strengths and weaknesses
- understand and discuss issues regarding the occurrence of traffic disturbances, their impact and how they are dealt with, in particular with respect to railway traffic.
- Implementing planning methods for solving numerical instances.
Course content
The course outlines how the planning of public transportation and railway traffic is carried out today. The course addresses the current prerequisites in terms of political agendas, legislation and its organisation with the different stakeholders and their functions. The course content also includes models and methods applied to facilitate the planning and operations. The course is composed of the following parts:
•Review of latest research in the area, based on a selection of journal papers.
•Strategic and operational timetable construction for railways
•Planning of demand responsive public transport.
Teaching and working methods
The course consists of lectures and seminars. Some of these will be given by external lecturers from the industry.
