Description
Content: The course offers an overview of transport planning methods/models. The contents of the course include travel demand modelling (Four step trip planning models - trip generation, trip distribution, mode choice and assignment); Data requirements and other modelling approaches with their limitations; Accessibility analysis using GIS methods; Assessment of transport impacts (Safety & Environment), Appraisal of scheme (Transport Analysis Guidance (TAG) /Cost-Benefit Analysis and Multi-criteria analysis).
Teaching delivery: This module is taught in 10 weekly lectures
Indicative Topics: Accessibility - analysis and measurement; GIS principles / GIS Tutorial; Trip generation and distribution; Mode choice and assignment; Activity based modelling; Impacts assessment 鈥� Safety &听 Environment; Transport appraisal; Modelling paradigms and transport planning 鈥� facing future challenges.
Module Aims and objectives:
The aim of the module is to offer an overview of methods and models used by transport planners to analyse, forecast travel behavior and evaluate scheme options.
By the end of the course, the student will have knowledge and understanding of:
- The main transport planning models/methods used by transport planners
- A critical understanding of their strengths and weaknesses
- Data required and methods to collect and interpret data for modelling and appraising a transport scheme
- Methods to evaluate the impacts of a transport scheme including appraisal
