Goal

The goal of the project newMIND is to strengthen public transport in the Ingolstadt region. A sub-project of newMIND is the design of an on-demand public transport system to better connect rural areas to the city by on-demand buses.

The assistant professorship Operations Management accompanies the Ingolstädter Verkehrsgesellschaft scientifically in the sub-project. Pilot projects are evaluated by Operations Research methods  to develop algorithms for design recommendations. The goal is to improve the utilization and ressource efficiency of the on-demand system. In addition to economic and ecological aspects, customer requirements are also included in the decision-making process.

The newMIND project is funded by the Federal Ministry of Transport and Digital Affairs (BMVD).
