Learning outcomes

EC	EC1: The holder of the degree applies knowledge in an independent and self-directed manner. He/she is able to critically plan, guard, manage and evaluate his/her own learning processes and to take care of his/her own (quality) control.
	DC	DC1: The student shows initiative on an individual basis, creates opportunities by anticipating and adopts a flexible attitude.
	DC	DC3: The student has an advanced level of knowledge and insight, characteristic of scientific work in the field of transportation sciences.
	DC	DC4: The student evaluates his/her way of working taking into account the quality of the work and draws lessons for the future.
	DC	DC5: The student works in an autonomous and self-managing way, engaging in self-reflection and striving for continuous improvement.
EC	EC2: The holder of the degree has in-depth knowledge and understanding of the concepts, methods, and (research) techniques of transportation sciences. He/she is able to apply the concepts, methods and (research) techniques in the field of transportation sciences adequately and autonomously.
	DC	DC1: The student can autonomously consult, assess and synthesise international scientific professional literature from the field of transportation sciences in terms of the knowledge required.
	DC	DC4: The student autonomously applies the selected concepts, methods or techniques for scientific research and interprets them adequately.
EC	EC3: The holder of the degree is able to autonomously carry out research in transportation sciences and offers realistic and sustainable solutions to complex transportation problems by using relevant theories and/or models from the field of study of transportation sciences or related domains.
	DC	DC1: The student can identify relevant transportation problems in the field of transportation sciences.
	DC	DC2: The student offers a realistic sustainable solution to a given problem based on acquired knowledge and insights from his/her academic training.
	DC	DC3: The student substantiates the proposed solutions from different perspectives
	DC	DC4: The student has the ability to deal with uncertainties related to complex transportation problems and develops appropriate sustainable solution strategies in a creative way.
EC	EC6: The holder of the degree is able to communicate and convince others on his/her field of study, both in writing and orally, addressing scientists of his/her own or similar fields of study and wide social groups.
	DC	DC1: The student is able to communicate on the process, results as well as his/her views in writing in a logically structured and clearly understandable way and to exchange views on these with others.

Prerequisites

There are no specific prerequisites for this course.

Content

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.
