This course includes:
- a brief history of traffic and transport models - an analysis of the transport system - a description of the structure of the traditional traffic and transport model - a deepening of techniques that are necessary for modeling the different steps in the traditional traffic and transport model - application of these techniques in modeling the four steps: o trip production and attraction o trip distribution o trip transport mode choice o traffic assignment - practical applications of the above methods on transport data
The majority of your learning will be done through self-study, based on the course material that is made available online. You will have access to a range of useful online learning materials such as online lectures, reading materials, as well as access to thousands of e-books, online journals and other resources via our online university library. Approximately mid-semester, an online interactive Question and Answer session will be organised, where students can meet the course lecturer and fellow students online and have the opportunity to go deeper into the course material.
All evaluations will be done online, whether by submission of assignments or by taking written or oral exams online, or a combination of assignments and exams. Written exams will be done with online proctoring (exam supervision) to retain the integrity of a supervised exam, while providing the flexibility of an online platform. For the online exams, distance learning students should ensure to have a laptop/pc with a working webcam and microphone, a charged mobile device (phone/tablet) and a stable internet connection (minimum upload speed of 1.5 MB/second), as well as a quiet, secluded room to take the exam in.
