Effects and impacts of mobility

Title and Description Methods to be Used
Literature review on the calibration of bicycle traffic demand in microscopic simulations.. Mentoring: Steinmetz.

The realistic representation of bicycle traffic in microscopic simulations is becoming increasingly important. In this work, literature on the calibration of traffic demand and route choice of bicycle traffic will be collected (methods, required data, etc.).

Transportation systems and concepts

Title and Description Methods to be Used
Analysis of GTFS Data from Munich: Coordination at key interchange stations. Mentoring: Dr. Dandl.

In this project, GTFS data from Munich should be analyzed to check the coordination of different lines in certain transfer stations

Mobility Data Modeling and Simulation

Title and Description Methods to be Used
Analysis of drone videos with a focus on exceptional scenarios. Mentoring: Kutsch.

As part of a project, a section of a street in Munich was recorded by drones for several hours. As part of the project work, these recordings are to be manually searched for unusual scenarios (e.g. disturbing delivery trucks, cyclists driving the wrong way, etc.) and then characteristics of these situations are to be derived.

💭📈
Testbed for traffic simulation. Mentoring: Lindner.

In this project, 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.

🖥️💻
Analysis of unattractive OD relations with Mobilität.Leben data. Mentoring: Dr. Dandl, Dahmen.

In this project, extended Mobilität.Leben data should be analyzed to identify origin-destination relations in and around Munich, which have low public transport mode share

Traffic Control and Management

Title and Description Methods to be Used
Comparison and evaluation of fixed-time and traffic-dependent control on the example of an T-junction from the "Examples from the German guidelines to signal control" with PTV Vissim. Mentoring: Stüger, Spangler.

Based on relevant reference papers and standards, the two control procedures mentioned in the thesis title are to be implemented at a T-junction using PTV Vissim. Afterwards, the two methods shall be compared using defined performance indicators.
