AlgoTransit: Algorithms for sustainable and efficient public transport

Purpose and goal:

The project intends to further develop algorithms to create more efficient line networks for public transport, an area that is largely unexplored and where work is currently carried out manually. The goal is to create a more attractive, cost-effective and sustainable transport system to achieve Sweden´s transport policy sustainability goals according to Agenda 2030.

Expected results and effects:

The project is expected to benefit both existing and potential public transport users as well as society as a whole by more people choosing public transport, public costs are reduced and through increased accessibility which contributes to economic development. Approach and implementation:

The work is carried out in the form of six work packages and extends over two years, where the main work is intended to be carried out by a doctoral student. The work packages consist of 1) State-or-the-art review, 2) Developing algorithm, 3) Developing tool for communication of results, 4) Continued dialogue on results, 5) Communication and 6) Potential for commercialization.
