Every day, millions of people are transported by buses, trains, and airplanes in Germany.
Public transit
(PT) is of major importance for the quality of life of individuals as well as the productivity of entire regions. Quality and efficiency of PT systems depend on the political
framework
(state-run, market oriented) and the suitability of the
infrastructure
(railway tracks, airport locations), the existing
level of service
(timetable, flight schedule), the use of adequate
technologies
(information, control, and booking systems), and the best possible deployment of
equipment and resources
(energy, vehicles, crews). The
decision, planning, and optimization problems
arising in this context are often gigantic and “scream” for mathematical support because of their complexity.
