Project Task Areas

6. Methods for Modeling and Optimizing Multi-Modal Mobility

The sixth task area will develop tools to support decision making for operational and strategic planning purposes and for the management of the movement of goods and persons in the Czech Republic. New modeling methodologies will take into account a full range of all possible impacts and relationships in the multi-interactional nature of today’s society. Here, the transportation system will be examined from the perspective of the individual citizen, with respect to his/her activities, purposes and objectives. Proposals will include an agency model based upon micro-modeling and the cognitive/behavioral profile of transportation infrastructure system’s users. A computer model will open the way to systemized management and optimization through tolls, tickets, routing, parking zones, and timetables for public transportation.

7. Education and Dissemination of the Center’s Work

An integral component of the RODOS project is the dissemination and communicating of the results achieved, along with the education of the professional public, students, end users, potential customers, and the media. This task area quite logically overlaps all of the above-mentioned areas, and work in this area will be shared by all members of the consortium. Aside from workshops for end users, two international conferences will be held. We also anticipate having young researchers being given the widest possible range of opportunities to participate with individual partners. The goal here is to give them a better grasp of individual fields, with the result being their ability to better choose an optimal personal direction for their careers.
