Miscellaneous
My affiliation with RSM/EUR is just 1 day per week. My usual day at RSM/EUR is Friday. The other days of the week I work for the Logistics Department of Netherlands Railways on the development of decision support and planning tools for timetabling, rolling stock circulation, and crew scheduling. Students interested in an internship in one of these areas may contact me.
EUR is currently one of the partners in the ARRIVAL project. (ARRIVAL = Algorithms for Robust and online Railway optimization: Improving the Validity and reliAbility of Large-scale systems). This is a 6th framework EU-funded research project aiming at robust planning and effective operations control in time-critical logistics systems. The project focuses mainly on railway systems. The project started at February 1, 2006, and lasts until January 31, 2009. The project has 13 partners, including research groups from ETHZ, the Universities of Bologna, Padua, and Karlsruhe, NS, DB, and SNCF. I am the coordinator of the EUR participation in the ARRIVAL project.
