Summary
Graduates of the course will get acquainted with the importance of optimization methods from operational analysis for solving problems of technical and transport practice, with basic optimization tasks and algorithms related to the transport network, with basic types of tasks and algorithms related to traffic planning on transport networks. service systems, the possibilities of their mathematical modeling and determination of their basic operating characteristics.
Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit
In transport, there are a number of decision-making tasks that can be effectively addressed using operational analysis tools. The course aims to acquaint students with selected tools that can be used to solve these decision-making tasks. These are tools based on graph theory, linear programming and queing theory.
Course Contents
1) Introduction to graph theory, basic concepts.
2) Eulerian trail, minimal spanning trees, Hamiltonian paths.
3) Distances in graphs - Floyd's algorithm.
4) Project management - Critical path method.
5) Planning the service of traffic network from one center - Little's algorithm.
6) Localization of emergency centers - Hakimi algorithm.
7) Introduction to linear programming - transport problem.
8) Mathematical model of a transport problem.
9) Algorithm for solving a transport problem.
10) Basic knowledge of probability theory.
11) Introduction to queueing theory, M/M/n/n queueing system.
