Y. (Yongqiu) Zhu
Profile
Yonqiu Zhu received a Bachelor degree in Traffic Transportation from Southwest Jiaotong University, China, in 2012. Later in 2015, she received a Master degree in Traffic Transportation Planning & Management from the same university. Since 2016, she has been a Ph.D. student affiliated with Digital Rail Traffic Lab at the Department of Transport and Planning in Delft University of Technology. Her research interests include disruption management, real-time traffic management, passenger assignment, and optimization in transportation.
Research
Yongqiu Zhu is currently working on her Ph.D. project “Passenger-oriented Disruption Management in Railways”. This project aims to support railway disruption management by developing optimization models to rapidly compute operator-friendly and/or passenger-friendly rescheduled timetables for different disruption scenarios (e.g. single disruption, multiple disruptions, and uncertain disruptions). Besides, a schedule-based dynamic passenger assignment model will be proposed to predict the passenger flows under a given rescheduled timetable, in order to identify crowded trains and suggest with solutions to avoid travel time increase due to denied boarding.
