The first presentation, "Time-Dependent Shortest Path with Travel Time Equivalents of Inconveniences" by Lukas Spengler, focused on the challenges of calculating optimal routes taking into account traffic conditions and individual preferences. On behalf of Lukas Spengler, Marc Gennat presented an innovative method for calculating time and cost equivalents for inconveniences on certain routes. This approach makes it possible to optimize route recommendations based on individual preferences and the real traffic situation.

The second presentation entitled "Computing Optimal Deployment of Mobility On-Demand Public Transport Using Hierarchical Clustering and Voronoi Cells" was equally impressive. This presentation focused on improving public transportation by optimally determining the location of mobility services. Görgen presented a method using hierarchical clustering and Voronoi cells to achieve the most efficient distribution of transportation in urban areas. This approach promises to make public transportation more efficient and convenient. Maurice Görgen wrote the paper on this topic, which was presented by Marc Gennat.

The two presentations by Lukas Spengler and Maurice Görgen aroused great interest and inspired the conference participants. They not only presented innovative approaches in operations research, but also demonstrated the SWK E² Institute's commitment to developing solutions to improve mobility and the transportation system.

However, the Operations Research 2023 conference was not only an opportunity for learning and networking, but also a platform to showcase the SWK E² Institute as a leading institution in operations research and transportation. The two outstanding presentations underlined the institute's commitment to solving real-world problems in the field of mobility and transportation.

In addition to the lectures, there were many other interesting presentations and discussions at the conference. Participants from different countries and disciplines contributed to a diverse and stimulating atmosphere. The conference offered a wide range of topics, from logistical challenges to advanced mathematical models that will shape the future of operations research.

Overall, the SWK E² Institute's participation in the Operations Research 2023 conference in Hamburg, which took place from August 29 to September 1, 2023, was a great success. The two presentations by Lukas Spengler and Maurice Görgen impressively demonstrated the innovative thinking and research expertise of the institute. The insights and contacts gained will undoubtedly help to drive forward the institute's research and development in the coming years and develop new solutions for the challenges in the field of mobility and transportation.
