DFG - FOR 2083: Integrated Planning For Public Transportation
TU Kaiserslautern / Universität Stuttgart / Universität Halle-Wittenberg / Karlsruher Institut für Technologie
Summer School "Integrated Planning in Public Transport"
Learn how to design and operate a punlic transport system
Public transport is the most efficient "sharing system" available to us in densely populated areas. A large
number of people can be transported with just a few vehicles and vehicle kilometres. Future
Mobility-as-a-Service (MaaS) offerings that enable individualized transport with shared vehicles will be
attractive to travellers, but will lead to additional vehicle kilometres. Therefore, it will remain an
important task of transport planning to provide an attractive public transport supply offering alternatives
to private or shared cars. This task leads to the overall topic of the summer school: How to design and operate
a public transport service that is as good as possible?
The summer school will present methods to design and evaluate public transport plans covering the steps of line
planning, timetable planning and vehicle scheduling. It will look at methods to facilitate access to public
transport by providing routing information and by addressing disturbances in the daily operation. The Summer
School aims at introducing participants to practical and mathematical methods for planning and optimising
public transport.
