| contents and acquired skills | The students have the ablility to apply and extend the stochastic models on system performance to complex networks and systems. They can formulate models on transportation system performance and analyse them by means of queuing theory. Based on skills in linear optimization students are able to apply aspects of planning and management of service development processes in surface transportation such as line planning and synchronised timetabling. Furthermore, students are able to apply aspects of modelling, planning and management of service development processes in aviation like slot allocation as well as inbound and outbound management in ATFM. They can handle essential terms, definitions and principles in fast-time simulation. |
| granting of credit points | By attendings the module you will gain 15 credit points. The module grade corresponds with the weighted average grades over all partial exams. The grade of the assignment paper will be weighted by 20%, while the overall exam grade will be weighted by 80%. The credit points are secured by passing the module exam. The module exam cosists of an exam with 240 minutes duration at the end of the final semester in summer. The module examination consists of
