Keynote Speakers

Macroscopic Continuum Models and Fundamental Diagrams for Traffic Flow Modelling, Management and Operations – Past, Present and Future
 

Dr Hari Krishna Gaddam

University
Gati Shakti Vishwavidyalaya

 

 The macroscopic traffic continuum models (MCM) have a basis in fluid flow analogy and these models along with appropriate fundamental diagrams (FD) have a significant role to play in traffic flow modelling, management, and operation. This presentation will focus on introducing a historic perspective of various types of speed-flow-density fundamental diagrams, macroscopic continuum models and their applications in the field. Next, the presentation will bring in to light the ongoing research in this area and the developments from developing countries perspective as well. Models built on a strong empirical background and modified car following theories will be introduced. Further, the mathematical and numerical analysis of the models will be presented. Models’ ability in replicating the traffic perturbation/traffic jams and further applications in evaluating alternative transport policy measures and helps in analysing the system performance will be highlighted. Future scope of research in the FD and MCM area will be discussed.

 
Railway Capacity – Concepts, Methods, and Current Developments
 

Prof. Dr. Norman Weik

University
TUM

 
Rail Capacity is an ambiguous, sometimes even controversial concept in railway system performance analysis. It refers to the traffic load that can or should be operated – often measured in terms of secondary considerations such as operating costs or quality thresholds derived from customer preferences and mode choice.
In this talk, we review the basic concepts, methods, and influence factors in railway capacity assessment, explaining the interdependence between infrastructure, train operating program, and traffic stability. A particular focus will be on recent developments in the representation of timetable and network correlations in capacity planning.
