László Marton

Between 1971 and 1974, he was a research associate at the Cybernetics Laboratory led by László Kalmár at the József Attila University of Szeged (JATE), and then an assistant professor at the Department of Computer Science. In a second position, he taught at the Szeged branch of the Győr-based College of Transport and Telecommunications Technology (KTMF).

From 1974 until his death, he taught at the KTMF in Győr, then at its successors, Széchenyi István College, and Széchenyi István University (SZE), where he was promoted to assistant professor, associate professor, and finally professor. He held various levels of leadership positions: group leader, department head, and institute head.

In 1975, he received his doctorate from JATE with his doctoral dissertation entitled “Simple Context-Free Languages”. In 1999, he received his PhD from the Faculty of Transport Engineering of the Budapest University of Technology (BME), in the field of investigation and development of computational models of traffic distribution. In 2002, he received the Széchenyi István Scholarship.

He was a teacher of general computer science basics, as well as Algorithms and Data Structures and Programming Methodology, and a developer of object-oriented programming educational materials. He is the author and co-author of notes and textbooks in the field of computer science.

His research area is the applications of mathematical and computational methods to transportation science, including computational models of transportation planning and traffic distribution. In this area, he designed and then implemented a transportation planning and information program system, NETWINFO, together with his colleagues. The program system was used for practical planning tasks in several places in our country; it also had some foreign references; it also served as educational material at the university.

Other program systems implemented by it include: transport network optimization for general planning, safety certification system for railway safety equipment and railway lines, simulation of pedestrian areas, and operation and maintenance system for public roads.
