Accessibility of Defibrillators in the Greater Munich Area – A Spatial Analysis Using Open Data.
Mentoring: Lippoldt.In this project, data on the accessibility of AEDs in the Greater Munich area will be collected, validated, and analyzed. The goal is to determine, for each spatial unit, the average accessibility to the nearest defibrillator by foot or by car. In addition, the spatial and temporal distribution of cardiac arrests will be derived or statistically estimated based on incident reports. These data will serve as input for simulations of mobile AEDs and their potential impact.

A Cross-City Comparison of the Evolution of Micromobilty Regulation and Urban Pkanning Strategies.
Mentoring: Takayasu.This project compares the evolution of micromobility regulations and planning strategies across cities from different world regions, such as in Asia, the USA, and Europe. It examines current mode share and policy frameworks in relation to each city’s historical, cultural, and spatial context, and discusses both shared and city-specific future visions for micromobility planning.

Simulation-based analysis of bus bulbs and bus bays.
Mentoring: Brodersen.In this project, the impacts of bus bays and curb extensions (bus bulbs) on both public transport and private traffic will be investigated using the microscopic traffic simulation SUMO. To this end, the different infrastructure designs will be implemented in an existing multimodal transport network, and the necessary implementation steps will be documented. The simulation results will then be analyzed and discussed in the context of recommendations provided by transport operators.

Cost-Comparison of Car Ownership, Subscription, and Rental.
Mentoring: Wendt.This project aims to examine the various pricing structures for using private vehicles, using a specific market (e.g., Germany/US, etc.) as an example. Different vehicle classes and rental models will be considered.

Literature Review on Public Transport Prioritization Concepts in Urban Areas.
Mentoring: Ilic.This project aims to compile an overview of public transportation prioritization concepts in urban regions based on available (scientific) literature. The literature review will employ a classification framework designed to identify research gaps and areas requiring development action.
