Effizientes Ressourcenmanagement im intermodalen und öffentlichen Transport

Kurzbeschreibung des Forschungsprojekts

The CD-laboratory for efficient intermodal transport operations will combine the long term experience of the laboratory head, Karl F. Doerner, in developing and applying op timization techniques to logistical decision problems with the practical expertise of our industrial partners. In recent years, Karl F. Doerners research group has focused specifically on the development of metaheuristic and matheuristics for decision problems in transport, taking into consideration real world characteristics and reali stic constraints. The project is split into two modules.

Module I - efficient resource management in inter modal transportation addresses intermodal transportation problems. The term intermodal transportation refers to the transportation of passengers or freight from an origin to a destination by at least two transportation modes, such that the transfer from one mode to the next takes place in intermodal terminals. The primary aim of this module, is to develop new optimization solution methods based on ope rations research techniques to support efficient resource planning and management in intermodal transportation systems.

The CD laboratory has been expanded by Module II - efficient resource management in public transportation. This module mainly focuses on tactical and operational problems of urban public transport systems, including headway optimization and disruption management.
