Build a transport modelling SW from existing modules and include error propagation functionalities. Use this SW to find out I/O dependencies of errors. Produce a leaflet which summarises all results.

Projektbeschreibung
(Englisch)
|
The goal is to answer the question: "How precise is a transport model?". The rules of error propagation are well known to physicists. They will be applied to the 4 steps of transport modeling, with special emphasis to the assignment procedure. First, a model developed at ETHZ in OBERON will be translated and extended to apply error propagation rules to all numerical operations. Second, error propagation will be studied with a small synthetic model and the Swiss private transport model from ARE. Third, a leaflet (1 page A4, recto/verso, for broad distribution) will be created with a) basics of error propagation in transport models, b) advices to follow to minimize errors, c) some rules of thumb to estimate the output errors from known input, and d) pitfalls to avoid dring the process.

Umsetzung und Anwendungen
(Deutsch)
|
The project is practice-oriented. The results will be useful to:
a) users of tranport modelling SW to estimate how their input errors will influence their results
b) future dynamic and online systems (FCD), where the input can have large fluctuations.
