Recorded 22 January 2024. Anita Schöbel of Fraunhofer Institute for Industrial Mathematics presents "Optimization models for public transport" at IPAM's Mathematical Foundations for Equity in Transportation Systems Workshop. Abstract: Public transport optimization consists of many planning stages such as network design, line planning, timetabling, vehicle- and crew scheduling, or delay management. Typical goals are to minimize the costs and to maximize the convenience of the passengers. For the latter, the routes passengers choose play an important role, in particular for planning lines and timetables and for delay management. Even determining the passengers’ routes in a given line plan or timetable can already get difficult depending on the model chosen and capacity constraints being present. The first part of the talk consists of a basic modeling course applied to public transport planning. Models and their resulting integer programs will be developed for stop location, line planning, timetabling and delay management. It will be shown how passengers are taken into account in this process. In the second part, different equity goals will be discussed for each of the planning stages. It will be exemplarily shown how such goals may be reflected in integer programming.
