Modern Approaches to Modelling Integrated Transport Systems

April, 3

Digitalization and the Future of Transport

Congress Centre, conference hall D1

No decision to develop transport infrastructure can be made without a thorough analysis and forecast of traffic flows, costs, and the potential socio-economic impact. A variety of different mathematical models have already been adopted or are currently being considered. Depending on what exactly is being studied, approaches may be macroscopic or microscopic and employ models for assessing impact and measuring effectiveness. Real projects often require different kinds of models, properly processed input data, and synchronization between models. What are the prevailing approaches to macroscopic passenger and freight modelling? What is the norm for microscopic modelling of individual transport and logistics hubs? How accurate are our assessments of the impact and measurements of the effectiveness of planned transport projects? Is it possible to achieve added value by unifying models to create a single integrated system?
