Proceedings of the 12th International Scientific Conference on Mobility and Transport / Lecture Notes in Mobility (PDF)

scientific work, he focused on traffic modelling and control for private and public transport, including new forms of active mobility. The different perspectives of mobility actors in the light of emerging technologies, ecological challenges, and changing societal behaviour are fundament for his research in the context of holistic systems thinking. He is Expert in application-oriented transport modelling and control and intelligent transport systems. His research is published in numerous articles as well as presentations. He received the highest German Award in Transport, was Head of the ITS-committee of the German Road Transport Research Association, and Delegate to national and international committees.



Dr. Andreas Rau is Transportation Engineer working at TUM Asia Singapore as Faculty Head and Principal Investigator (Rail, Transport and Logistics). He was Principal Investigator of the Rapid Road Transport Group in TUM CREATE Singapore from 2011 till2021. His significant research experience contributed in public transport planning, development and implementation workshops and research projects funded by public transport authorities and education institutes in Germany and Singapore. With a strong academic and teaching background, he was Founding Director of M.Sc. programmes at TU München and the German Institute of Science and Technology-TUM Asia, Singapore. He is Frequent Speaker in seminars, conference, and training from all around the world. His research interests are in the areas of public transport planning, especially for developing and emerging countries. This stretches from the network planning, the creation of integrated transport chain to the optimization of bus lines. The scheduling of transit lines for buses and trains, from the design of the timetable till the creation of duties, and rosters for the drivers are also topics covered by His research interests are assessment methods for transport infrastructure and policies for a sustainable transport system development as well.

Mahesh Hariharan is Assistant Faculty Head of Technical University of Munich's Asian campus called TUM Asia, located in Singapore. He holds Bachelors' degree in Civil Engineering from National Institute of Technology Calicut, India (2014) and Master's in Transport and Logistics from Technical University of Munich (2016). He is pursuing his Ph.D. with TUM in the field ofVehicle-based Condition Monitoring of Ballastless Track Systems on Bridge decks with the help of ANSYS and SIMPACK. In scientific works, his areas of interest include finite element modelling (FEM) of slab tracks and rail infrastructure elements and multi-body simulation of track-vehicle coupling dynamics. Apart from academia, he is responsible for the development of the Masters' programme in Rail, Transport, and Logistics offered at TUM Asia by liaising with relevant stakeholders and drafting bespoke training programmes and joint-events with local and overseas partners.
