Aims and objectives and results:

            The activities proposed to be carried out by the within the research on the elaboration of the study on passenger flow in Craiova Municipality, start from a usual scientific approach of public transport and passenger flows, pointing to the following main objectives:

•         Determining the variation of the current volume of trips by local public passenger transport during a day;

•         Carrying out dedicated surveys among the citizens of the municipality regarding the satisfaction of the needs of public passenger transport;

•         Optimizing the routes of the system of local public passenger transport lines;

•         Proposal for a system of local public passenger transport lines for the city of Craiova

•         Carrying out an economic-financial analysis for each route;

•         Development of mathematical models / mathematical algorithms based on different mathematical tools (mathematical probabilities, mathematical statistics, graph theory, operational analysis, etc.) and development of modeling, simulations and optimizations using software platforms (AIMSUN, VISSUM-VISSIM) existing in transport laboratories of the Department of Motor Vehicles, Transport and Industrial Engineering;

•         Forecast of the development of local public transport in the short, medium and long term, etc.
