The practical part of this course involves working on real-life like projects. Some prior knowledge of data management is
desirable.

In this course the multidisciplinary transportation planning process is tackled at different geographic levels. Concepts and techniques applicable to statewide, metropolitan, corridor, local and even site transportation planning level will be discussed. At the level of travel demand generation, the link with land use and urban design, travel demand modeling, and travel demand management is established. At the travel supply level, transportation planning challenges such as road capacity planning, transit network planning and operations, planning for pedestrian, bicyclist, and parking facilities are investigated.
As transportation planning is embedded in a broader societal context, additional topics that will be highlighted are transportation funding and finance, operations, safety, and public participation and engagement.
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.

| Explanation (English) | In case of failing the course, the theoretical part always needs to be retaken
and represents 50% of the grade.
The practical part of the course, which represents 50% of the grade, only needs to be retaken in case of failing the practical part at the first chance exam. If the practical part needs to be retaken in second chance, an individual assignment will be given. |
