Rail Transport Demand Management: Call for Abstracts

Scope

Efficient rail traffic management and high customer satisfaction do not only need an optimization of train operations but also a control of transport demand. Besides long-term and mid-term strategies to influence the demand, e.g. by ticketing and pricing strategies, also short-term measures are needed in cases of incidents to avoid overcrowded trains and to guide passengers towards the most suitable connection. The symposium addresses both, passenger and freight transport.

This symposium will, for the first time, bring together all involved disciplines: transport planning, railway engineering, information technology, economics, marketing, psychology and many others.
