Planning new public transportation services based on autonomous vehicles (B03)

• Subject Area: Traffic and Transport Systems, Intelligent and Automated Traffic
• Term: since 2025
• Project identifier: Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) - Project number 531327426

Project B3 aims at developing new methods for jointly planning line-based and on-demand Public Transportation (PT) services assuming a fully autonomous vehicle fleet. Analytical models and simulation will be used to identify the application boundaries of the different service types. The PT planning problem will be formalized mathematically considering constraints such as the use of existing (rail-based) infrastructure, we will also test heuristic methods. The new planning methods will be linked with the AgiMo digital twin to consider interactions between service schemes and demand.
