Trassenbörse

Slot Allocation for Railways

Description

The interdisciplinary project Trassenbörse deals with the problem, wether an auction-based allocation of railway tracks could lead to competitive marketing of a railway infrastructure network. The idea is that competing railroad traffic companies can bid for any imaginable track. Possible arsising conflicts will be resolved by using the revenue maximizing allocation. In this project we investigate on the producibility and practicability of this approach. Together, we work on the occuring economic, railway environmental and mathematical problems.   Further information is available in the detailed project description.
