Since more than 20 years, ZIB is working on helping to shape the future of transportation. Through the use of mathematical models, advanced algorithms, and data analytics, our researchers can analyze and optimize various aspects of mobility, such as public transport, air traffic, or traffic and transportation infrastructure. For example, we built novel algorithms that are utilized in the transport industry to significantly reduce CO2 emissions while increasing consumer satisfaction. We also model and simulate different scenarios to assess the impact of emerging technologies like electric vehicles or shared mobility services on traffic patterns, mobility choices, and energy consumption.Mathematical research also enables the design of efficient algorithms that can optimize periodic timetables, help to reduce congestion, and enhance overall efficiency. By developing new mathematical tools and software, we contribute to the development of sustainable and efficient transportation solutions, leading to a more connected and environmentally friendly mobility future.
