Abstract

The aim of the project is to develop and apply a new public transport model - the COVID-19 Public Transport Capacity model - for Twente. The model optimises the supply of public transport (the frequency of vehicles per connection in the network), taking into account the costs, revenue and the capacity of different vehicles during the coronavirus pandemic. In scenario analyses, the consequences of the growth of the demand for transport will be investigated.
