| lecturer | Prof. Dr. rer. nat. habil. Karl Nachtigall (lecturer in charge) Dr.-Ing. Jens Opitz Dipl.-Ing. Henning Preis (Chair of Logistics and Transportation Engineering) |
| contents and acquired skills | The students are featured to understand, to set up and if necessary to extent complex mathematical models as well as their computational implementation to optimize problems in transportation, traffic and logistics (such as line planning, scheduling, crew rostering, synchronised time tabling, air traffic flow management, slot allocation, tour planning, procurement strategy). The students are able to understand several optimization methodsin their context and to evaluate them with complex, practical program systems. |
| granting of credit points | Through attending the module 5 credit points can acquainted. The module degree is eual to the gedree of the course exmaination. The credit points are gained by passing the module exam. The module examination consists of a homework with 30 hours extent and of their introduction in a technical-scientific presentation (approx. 15 min duration) followed by a discussion (approx. 5 min duration). |
