Integral periodic timetable in the Czech Republic Periodic Timetable Research Groups
The group Integral periodic timetable in the Czech Republic (17X1IG, 17X2IG) is intended for students in the field LOG / LA - Logistics and Transport Processes Control in bachelor's and master's studies.
What tact stands for?
Periodic timetable (also known as clock-face timetable) is a way of organizing especially public passenger transport. It can be used not only on railway, you can also find it, for example, on the backbone lines in bus transport. Periodic timetable is based on a fixed interval of lines (period), which connect in nodes, where mutual transfer is allowed between them. In addition, these lines have a uniform time axis of symmetry, which means that connections that can be carried out in one direction can also take place on the way back in the same manner.
Let's take a simple example. Every hour (X: 00) the trains meet at the junction, passengers can change to any connection. Shortly after an hour, the trains set off. After half of the cycle time (at the hourly cycle, ie at X:30), the opposite connections of the given line meet, a crossing occurs on a single-track line. Shortly before the next hour, the trains will reunite so that the same transfer connections can be made as the previous hour.
What are we doing
Do you want to be where something is happening? Are you interested in timetables? Do you want to learn something and create something? Then you have come to the right place!
What would you lose if you didn't take advantage of our tempting offer?
- The opportunity to work for a sect of math freaks on something that they will unfortunately never get away with, but they will keep trying.
- Rewriting track-ratio tables into a German-speaking program.
- Learning about the German and Swiss tact model by translating the fun ordinances and laws there and comparing them to our "legislation".
- Merrily scribbling coloured lines on the network map for your own pleasure (it's called long-distance network planning, or line planning).
- And, of course, a few sleepless nights, when your ideas just don't work out when you try to sketch up a timetable on the computer and you have to start all over again several times
- Surely there's no need to write at length about such commonplace things as bringing refreshments to senior peers at project meetings, is there?
- And you will hear many other cheerful things on the topic of your work from your colleagues, of course well-meant. It is called constructive criticism :-)
Not interested? Then please go back where you came from, because this is your last chance. Besides, that's not entirely true, because of course we need you for something "completely" different, right?
- New ideas for studies for our partners - mostly regions and foreign carriers.
- Assistance with the maintenance of Czech track databases (updates, i.e. mostly speed reductions, etc.).
- And many, many more fun and playful - just exactly what you could think of the best possible project!
Research group meetings
Our project meets regularly once every 2 weeks together with sister groups. With delicious sandwiches, we discuss current problems of public transport or consult bachelor's and master's theses. Join the meeting without obligation, see current dates.
