Today, the whole unit joined for a workshop making future plans. We have many ideas, especially in the railway area, but we are also open to new suggestions. What research problems in railway and public transport do you think we should address in the coming years?
Nice thread on teaching math & applications.
@andpe41 - perhaps the idea about courses in parallel is something to consider (coupled to yesterday's discussion)?
Whenever someone in applied sciences and engineering tells me that math teachers need to focus on teaching the applications, I bite my tongue and think isn't that your fucking job?
Today, our PhD student Liyun Yu presents her research on last-minute crew rescheduling as part of the #KAJT spring seminar at @Trafikverket in Borlänge.

Interested in exploring the origins of certain Optimization terms? Then, check out this excerpt written by George Dantzig for the 1991 book "History of Mathematical Programming: A Collection of Personal Reminiscences". It was also published in 2002 here: https://t.co/8GyJuBdbTY.
Det här var en intressant förstudie att få göra och det finns en hel del matnyttigt i rapporten. Tack @Trafikverket för finansieringen och bra samarbete!
Carl Henrik Häll och @TomasLidenW har nyligen presenterat en verksamhetsstudie om utformning av underhållsområden på större driftplatser, ett område där det finns mycket att tänka på när järnvägen ska underhållas. Arbetet sammanfattas här:

AI och godstrafikplanering är en del i ett störra projekt tillsammans med @LiU_IDA1983 och @vtisweden, som finansierats av @vinnovase. Vårt arbetspaket omfattar 750 kkr och huvudpersonen är @TomasLidenW.
It's time to write your master/bachelor thesis? You're looking for an interesting project in railway or public transport?
We have some ideas for you!

We are participating at #EWGT. Rabii Zahir presents a work entitled "Improving attractiveness of working shifts for train dispatchers" and @ignisiridium presents a joint work with @KTHuniversity on railway platform allocation. Both studies are funded by @Trafikverket.
🎉 Today we are welcoming David Dekker as a new PhD student to the group. David will work in a project on major rescheduling of railway timetables late in time, motivated by, e.g., urgent maintenance needs. (Flooding is a current example.) The project is funded by @Trafikverket.
