Towards a Digital Twin of Seychelles' Road Transport System
(2022)Seychelles faces a fast growth in car ownership. Infrastructure improvements cannot keep pace with the grown mobility demand, resulting in an increasing congestion problem during peak hours. This thesis aims to build a reliable microscopic traffic model for Seychelles’ main island Mahé. It focuses on motorized private transport. I used openly available map data to build a model in the open-source traffic simulation software SUMO. The traffic ...Master Thesis -
Network optimization in railway transport planning
(2017)This work is dealing with train timetabling problem. In the first chapter, one can find an introduction to network flows which is needed for understanding deeper concepts later on. Namely, basic graph theory definitions are stated as well as core problems like the minimum cost flow and shortest path problem. Furthermore, two equivalent representations of network flows are described, including some useful properties connected to each of ...Master Thesis -

Modeling and Implementing High Performance Programs on FPGA
(2016)This work investigates the potential of high performance computing (HPC) on fieldprogrammable gate arrays (FPGAs), highlighting concepts and programming techniques to pursue performance using high level synthesis (HLS) tools. We compute the peak single precision floating point performance on the AlphaData 7V3 board using a model of replicated processing elements, then implement a benchmark to verify the predicted performance in ...Master Thesis -
Unravelling Urban Pedestrian Trips: Developing a new pedestrian route choice model estimated from revealed preference GPS data
(2015)Walking is very important in our lives: for millions of years, walking has been the most basic mode of transport. However, much less research has been done on walking and pedestrians compared to motorised vehicular modes. Especially pedestrian’s route choice behaviour is an interesting topic in research. Knowledge about pedestrian’s route choice behaviour is sparse, while this knowledge is very relevant for planning and designing public ...Master Thesis -

Mitarbeitermotivation im öffentlichen Dienst am Beispiel der wissenschaftlichen Bibliotheken in Deutschland
(2014)Berliner Handreichungen zur Bibliotheks- und InformationswissenschaftDer öffentliche Dienst in Deutschland ist gekennzeichnet durch einen im Vergleich mit der Privatwirtschaft hohen Anteil von Mitarbeiterinnen und Mitarbeitern mit geringer Leistungsmotivation. Die Erhöhung der Teamleistung durch Motivierung von Personal, das eine freizeitorientierte Schonhaltung" (Weinert) an den Tag legt, stellt für Führungskräfte im öffentlichen Dienst eine besondere Herausforderung dar, da ihre Handlungsspielräume sowohl ...Master Thesis
