Course description and aims

This course focuses on traffic and transport systems, and covers the fundamental theories and analytical models on travel behaviour, transport network equilibrium and traffic flows. The, the course explains how these theories are applied to describe traffic and transport through exercise and reports
The mathematical approach is essential for systems analysis in traffic and transport engineering, and applicable to transport planning and management. This course facilitates students' comprehensive ability to find useful solutions for actual traffic and transport problems.

Student learning outcomes

When students complete this course, they will be able to:
1) understand the systems approach for traffic and transport problems,
2) understand fundamental mathematical methods in traffic engineering and transport planning,
3) obtain creative ability through practical application examples.

Keywords

systems analysis, travel behaviour, transport network, traffic flow, travel demand, transport planning, traffic and transport management

Competencies that will be developed

✔ Specialist skills Intercultural skills Communication skills Critical thinking skills Practical and/or problem-solving skills

Class flow

1) the course is mainly organized by lectures, and exercise will be held at the end of the topics.
2) handouts are provided via OCWi and should be studied before the class.
3) attendants are taken.
