Master's thesis in Requirements & Analysis: Solving Rush-Hour Riddles: The Art of Congestion Control in Public Transportation (Project SPITS)

This Master’s thesis delves into the escalating challenge of peak-hour congestion in Dutch public transportation. It explores innovative strategies to enhance system efficiency and passenger comfort, focusing on dynamic pricing, such as peak-hour surcharges, and scheduling adjustments. By examining both conceptual frameworks and technical implications, this study provides a comprehensive approach to managing congestion, encouraging off-peak travel, and potentially transforming the future of public transport efficiency.

If you’re a frequent traveler during peak hours, you’ve likely observed that trains, buses, or metros become increasingly crowded. The mounting congestion within the Dutch public transportation system has evolved into a significant challenge, affecting both the system’s efficiency and passengers’ comfort. To ensure continued smooth travel in the future, we must adopt a smarter approach to managing the available space on trains and buses. A strategy to achieve this entails more evenly distributing congestion throughout the day. This involves encouraging individuals to consider traveling during less busy periods, perhaps half an hour earlier or later.

To accomplish this goal, transportation companies can offer more attractive deals for those who opt for off-peak hours. One such initiative is the ‘peak-hour surcharge’ introduced by the NS (Dutch Railways). This system increases prices during peak hours, incentivizing travelers to journey outside these high-demand times by offering reduced fares. This mechanism of price adjustment is an intriguing approach that not only aids in congestion alleviation but can also make travel more economical and user-friendly.

In this assignment, you will explore strategies to tackle the problem of peak-hour congestion in public transportation. You’ll consider the key components of an effective congestion-alleviation model, such as dynamic pricing and scheduling adjustments. Additionally, the assignment prompts you to delve into the technical implications of these strategies, including data requirements and infrastructure considerations. By investigating both the conceptual and technical aspects, you’ll gain a comprehensive understanding of how to enhance the efficiency and comfort of public transportation during peak hours.
