Analysis of Cross-Border Route Choice Behavior.
Mentoring: , Glöckl.This study examines trips generated using automated, anonymized license plate recognition data. The aim is to analyze and compare travel times and traffic volumes for different times of day and types of day. The goal is to identify patterns in route usage and to identify potential factors influencing route choices.

Simulationsbasierte Bewertung von Verzögerungen bedingt durch Fahrplan-Einfügeprozesse in dynamischen Ride-Pooling-Diensten.
Mentoring: Brodersen.In ride-pooling systems, customer requests can be assigned to vehicles by a central operator. Under certain control strategies, newly arriving customer requests can dynamically alter the sequence of pick-up and drop-off maneuvers of vehicles through so-called insertions. This may lead to delays for passengers who are already on board or have received planned schedules. The objective of this thesis is to investigate these delays in different network and demand scenarios using the Python-based fleet simulation FleetPy, and to analyze their impacts on both customers and fleet operations.

Mobility Data Modeling and Simulation
-
Testbed for traffic simulation.
Mentoring: Lindner.In this thesis, three goals are pursued: (1) to duplicate data and models from an existing (online) platform for (specified) offline studies, (2) to implement procedures to incorporate real-time data into testbed(s), and (3) to investigate data aggregation with respect to traffic control.

How Many Simulation Runs are Enough? Statistical Analysis of Microscopic Traffic Flow Simulations.
Mentoring: Brodersen.In simulation studies, 10-15 repetitions are often considered a sufficiently large sample size. Statistically, however, depending on the desired confidence interval and significance level, an individual statement can be made for each KPI. For this reason, the practice of assuming a general sample size should be questioned, based on different VISSIM networks and traffic signal controls of varying complexity. Prerequisite: Excellent proficiency in German (external partner: gevas Ingenieure).
