CONTENT, ASSESSMENT AND WORKLOAD

Content

  • valid for whole curriculum period:

    In this course, the student will learn how to formulate various real-world problems arising in public transport planning as optimization problems. A special focus will be on considering and analysing problems variants and their influence on the complexity of the considered problems. At the end of this course, it is expected that the student will be capable of formulating public transport problems as optimization problems, analyzing their structure and choosing suitable solution methods.

Assessment Methods and Criteria

  • valid for whole curriculum period:

    home exercises and projects

Workload

  • valid for whole curriculum period:

    Lectures and exercises

    Self study: home exercises and projects; remainder for revising content of lectures and exercise sessions and for preparing for the exam
