Highlights
About 28 million people use the public passenger transport in Germany daily, this shows the good acceptance of a well meshed traffic system
Usually a graph representing the public transport network is set up and algorithms taken from graph theory or operations research are used to find optimal routes
This allows getting personalized advice during travel and while travel planning. This is implemented by generation of a second graph representing the public transport network not in dimension of time and costs but in preferences and dislike of a given traveller
Summary
About 28 million people use the public passenger transport in Germany daily, this shows the good acceptance of a well meshed traffic system. The Verkehrsverbund Rhein-Ruhr (VRR) is the public transport association covering the area of the Rhine-Ruhr conurbation in Germany It was founded on 1 January 1980, and is Europe’s largest body of such kind, covering an area of some 5,000 km with more than seven million inhabitants, spanning as far as Dorsten in the north, Dortmund in the east, Langenfeld in the south, and Mönchengladbach and the Dutch border in the west [1]. Since this infrastructure is already established it is a good investment to open this service for people which are not able to use it today. The dense mesh provided by the companies running VRR is the perfect environment to do so
