AnSiM - securing connections

Fraunhofer ITWM

We understand the management of secure connections in public transport as the process of data driven and software aided improvements in transfer possibilities.

  • secure connections are a central factor of quality in public transport
  • it has to be taken into account during timetable design and daily operations
  • IT-systems for secure connections should help to achieve an optimal result in the view of the passengers
  • due to the strong interdependencies in the transportation network there are always winners and losers, therefore models for secure connections are of multicriteria nature
  • these models are the heart of decision support tools for secure connections
  • several software prototypes of the ITWM allow planners to work towards a sound management of secure connection
