A kutatási téma leírása:

a) Background:

The increasing volume of transport demand contributes to congestions on roads, which leads to delays and other negative impacts. Moreover transportation is one of the main contributors to emissions, therefore governmental institutions and commercial organizations are looking for solutions to mitigate these negative effects. Analyzing urban mobility patterns helps understanding travel habits of passengers and possibly decreases journey times, while maintaining transportation services. This should increase the quality of transportation services, thus transportation related processes could be optimized.

b) Aim of research:
The analysis of information and optimization of mobility patterns has been a research topic since a long time ago, but a significantly enhanced interest can be observed in the last decade. Therefore the aim of the proposed research is to develop an activity chain based model integrating technological and organizational aspects, providing fast, secure and optimal flow of passengers.
In the research a novel framework will be presented to support utilities maximization and regrets minimization models. The simulations will include stochastic elements in form of travel times, whereas the optimization model represents a deterministic service network design. Using choice models user decisions can be analyzed and predicted to provide best alternatives. Specifically some attributes will be modeled using conventional Utility Maximization approach (RUM), while others by Random Regret Minimization approach (RRM).
The results of the proposed research have the potential to be integrated into various Intelligent Transportation Systems applications by combining available traveler information services. To assist that process, strategic developments are realized in those areas, where they can provide most efficient functioning. The developments assist travelers in making more informed decisions regarding their travel plans and provide transportation service providers with an overall assessment of the system and its performance.
