20th ECTRI Economics and Policy Webinar
Speaker: Tilmann Schlenther from DLR
Bio: Tilmann Schlenther is a Research Associate at the Institute for Transport Research at German Aerospace Center. He studied Transportation Planning and Operations at Technische Universität Berlin, where he recently completed his PhD. His research focuses on agent-based simulations of innovative mobility concepts, including autonomous mobility-on-demand systems and the integration of passenger and freight transport. It further encompasses modeling parking and charging behavior, as well as the analysis of decarbonisation pathways through participatory dialogue with citizens.
Abstract: To establish Mobility-on-Demand and autonomous Mobility-on-Demand services as part of sustainable transport systems, a forward-looking configuration process is indispensable. Modern methods such as agent-based transport simulation are particularly well suited for this task, as they combine the representation of individual travel behavior with the physical interactions of the transport system. This presentation demonstrates how such a simulation framework can be applied as a decision-support tool in the context of a real-world pilot project. Apart from decision-support, the presented investigations contribute to the understanding of fundamental interactions between demand and supply in Mobility-on-Demand systems.
Seminars are open to the ECTRI Members.
