Decision Support for Real-Time Public Transport Operations

Friday October 22, 10:00 - 15:00

Introduction

On October 21, 2010, Daniel Potthoff will defend his Ph.D. thesis at Erasmus University Rotterdam. On this occasion, ECOPT organizes a workshop on the next day. The workshop is on decision support systems for the control of real-time operations in public transport systems.

The workshop is of special interest to:

  • Researchers in the field of public transport scheduling problems, either at public transport companies or from academia,
  • Consultants in public transport scheduling,
  • Developers of public transport scheduling software,
  • Academics and practitioners with a general interest in scheduling problems or public transport.

We assume the audience to be familiar with basic mathematical programming models and techniques. All presentations will be in English.

Speakers and program

The speakers in this workshop are:

  • Leena Suhl, University of Paderborn: Modeling approaches for robust vehicle scheduling in public transport
  • Lars Nielsen, Erasmus University Rotterdam: Service oriented rolling stock scheduling in passenger railways
  • Ernesto Morgado, Technical Univsersity of Lisbon and SISCOG:
  • Twan Dollevoet, Erasmus University Rotterdam: Delay management with passenger re-routing
  • Dennis Huisman, Erasmus University Rotterdam and Netherlands Railways: Robust (crew) planning vs. effective (crew) rescheduling

The program is as follows.
