Optimisation of Public Transport Systems

abstract

English

The development of public transport in cities, especially large ones, is an important process in the context of increasing the sustainability of their territory – public transport is much more environmentally friendly and spatially efficient, but it is also more financially demanding for the budgets of subscribers and operators. The construction of new buildings usually takes into account the public transport service in their surroundings, and minor changes in the transport service in the city area may occur several times a year. However, mass transit systems are rarely evaluated comprehensively and therefore it may not be known whether all sites are adequately served over time. This is often due to a lack of appropriate data and the absence of a clear methodology. The author's forthcoming dissertation focuses on the development of a methodology for analysing the quality of public transport in different areas of the area of interest, optimising it and comparing the conditions before and after the modifications, with an emphasis on the economic aspects of the operation. Multi-agent traffic modelling is used in this thesis to reveal the potential of passengers in different locations and the importance of certain transport directions. One of the principles is the use of open data and software to make the described procedure easily repeatable and independent of the finances of an individual or institution.
