Transportation Systems Modeling

Catalog description

Introduces latest technologies and techniques used by transportation planners and engineers to study current travel characteristics and estimate future travel demand and supply. This course focuses on urban travel characteristics and activity analysis, travel demand and supply analysis, transportation system and project evaluation, and program and project implementation strategies. The course will (1) introduce concepts, procedures and methods associated with transportation planning; (2) provide basic knowledge of travel demand forecasting models; and (3) provide basic knowledge of relevant travel demand modeling software. The proposed course is designed for both undergraduate and graduate students who want to develop their career in transportation engineering and planning. Students in this class will deliver research papers/reports beyond those expected for students in CEE 08466, Introduction to Urban Transportation Planning.
