Application Area “Mobility”
Advanced mobility concepts focus on integrating sustainable transport modes like trains, electric vehicles, or shared bikes for seamless, efficient journeys. E-mobility and shared transport options reduce environmental impacts and urban congestion. Autonomous fleets promise safer, streamlined commutes. Importantly, equitable transportation ensures accessibility for all user groups. All these aspects demand robust models, methods, and solutions capable of handling uncertainty and the human element, that is, the interaction of individual users exhibiting selfish behavior and making their own decisions. The vision of AA Mobility is to develop the necessary mathematical models, tools, and methods to enhance and contribute to advanced mobility and related network applications. In articular, cutting-edge network and discrete optimization methods, efficient algorithms, and related areas constitute the mathematical core of AA Mobility.
