Course Content

  • This course (Seminar) will focus on "transportation" and will discuss how basic planning models and methods can or should be adapted if real time information (floating car data, TMC-information, forecasts about congestion, etc.) is available.  
  • Partly models discussed in the course transportation logistics will be used and extended.
  • Beside the real time aspect also the multi-modal alspect will be disussed, i.e. die option to combine different transportation modes, e.g.  plane and truck or ship and rail.
  • parallel to this course, another course of type "Seminar" is given by Prof. Inderfurth (Magdeburg): 
    040679 SE KFK PM/LM: Seminar B (E) >> more
    since both Seminars are not fully booked it is possible to switch between these two courses. However, in this case the secretary must be contacted within the first wto weeks of the semester.

Requirements

  • literature study
  • presentation
  • term paper (Seminararbeit)
  • regular presence and participation in discussion

Prerequisites

  • This course (Seminar) is intended as the final course in a KFK. Thus, it should only be taken after some other courses in the corresponding area.

Schedule "Würfelteil"

  • The first part of the course is a so called "Würfelseminar", i.e. certain topics are to be prepared by all participants. Every 10 minutes, say, a different person will be asked (at random -> Würfel) to present the next pages of the underlying literature. The purpose is
        (i) to obtain some common knowledge base by all participants, and 
        (ii) to facilitate discussion.
  • Literature for the "Würfelseminar": see "basic literature" above
  • the first "Würfelseminar" is over now

Schedule "Spezialteil"

  • In the second part each group of 2 participants will be given a special topic which has to be prepared and presented some weeks later. Also a term paper must be written on this topic.
  • all papers can be found here
  • Sessions will be on June 5, 12, and 26 - see below
