We introduce a nonlinear optimization model to approach this problem. It is based on a d iscrete choice logit model that expresses demand as a function of the fares. We illustrate our approach by computing and comparing two different fare systems for the intercity network of the Netherlands.}, language = {en} } @misc{JoswigPfetsch2004, author = {Joswig, Michael and Pfetsch, Marc}, title = {Computing Optimal Morse Matchings}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:0297-zib-8120}, number = {04-37}, year = {2004}, abstract = {Morse matchings capture the essential structural information of discrete Morse functions.

It consists of finding lines and corresponding frequencies in a public transport network such that a given travel demand can be satisfied. There are (at least) two objectives. The transport company wishes to minimize its operating cost; the passengers request short travel times. We propose two new multi-commodity flow models for line planning. Their main features, in comparison to existing models, are that the passenger paths can be freely routed and that the lines are generated dynamically.}, language = {en} }
