Research
The group is specialised in the development and deployment of mathematical models that can be used to analyse transport system related problems. The scope of the models varies from short-term microscopic simulation models used to analyse the impact of dynamic traffic management measures, to long-term macroscopic planning models used to describe the mutual relationship between the quality of infrastructure and activity patterns.
In the research programme of the group four main areas of interest can be distinguished:
- Policy analysis and transport system analysis; analysis of relationship between quality of infrastructure and physical planning of activities.
- Systematic design of transport networks (uni- and multimodal).
- Intelligent transportation systems (real-time control of traffic flows using dynamic traffic management measures and traveler information systems).
- Safety, accessibility and sustainability (environment) aspects of the transport system.
The research group participates in national and international (European) research projects. Here are parts of the projects.
