[OSM-talk-be] Daniel Kral on public transport optimization systems

[Marc Coevoet]

Nu werd er niet zoveel over gezegd, maar ik was toevallig aan het luisteren:

(ook de post voor GEOROUTE)

Hier past ook de link naar Openstreetmap research, geen enkele Belg?
Enfin, ik deed geen research meer oa nadat ze ons verplichten dos te 
gebruiken (1991, en in alle ministeries)...

CITAAT:
What other kinds of problems?

“Whatever they need, they are pretty much applied, much more applied 
than our department is focused much more on basic research, which is 
more fundamental, and we are interested in all kind of problems of 
optimisation. For instance finding a shortest route, a cheapest 
solution, the optimal schedule for trains or buses, to optimise the 
number of kilometres the buses have to run while keeping the passengers 
happy that the bus is running on time.”

I’ve always thought it must be a hell of a job putting together the tram 
and bus schedules in Prague to make everything run so smoothly. So there 
are people working on them from a mathematical perspective?

“I’m not aware of mathematicians working for the Prague transit system, 
I know there is a group in ¨Germany with which we are in touch, and they 
have been pretty good at selling their solutions to companies optimising 
transportation in Berlin, in Munich, and in other German cities. 
Unfortunately in the Czech Republic we haven’t managed to sell our 
mathematics to these kinds of companies."
