Centre for Transport Studies course

This course aims to develop an advanced understanding of principles and skills in working with these models. Topics include transport modelling types and scales, theory of travel demand modelling, including the four-step transport model (i.e., trip generation, trip distribution, mode choice and traffic assignment), output analysis, land use – transport interaction models, as well as theory of traffic flow dynamics, including capacity assessment, LOS assessment, shockwave analysis, dynamic traffic management and elementary traffic control design. The course ends with a discussion about the link between models and the analytical questions raised by different policy environments.
