Transport Systems Planning and Transport Telematics Group

The Group "Transport Systems Planning and Transport Telematics" is part of the Institute for Land and Sea Transport Systems in the Departement of Transport and Mechanical Engineering at the Technical University of Berlin. Our work is strongly based upon computational methods for traffic modelling and simulation. We investigate agent based models for highly detailed intermodal traffic simulations as well as fast numerical algorithms on a macroscopic scale for real time applications. Due to our focus on activity based demand generation our work exceeds beyond pure traffic simulations and explicitly consideres the underlying planning processes. Based upon our simulations we are employing a variety of system analysis tools with an increasing focus on traffic telematics applications.
