On 25 May 2016 TRAIL PhD Daniel Sparing defended his PhD thesis on ‘Reliable Timetable Design for Railways and Connecting Public Transport Services’ at Delft University of Technology.

Congratulations Daniel!

Short Summary

Railways and public transport form an essential part of our transport systems: together with walking and cycling, they are the space-efficient and environmentally friendly alternatives to private cars. However, new infrastructure is costly and therefore there is a strong need that the existing network is used in an optimal manner. All research topics in this thesis therefore focus on improving railway and public transport timetabling.
