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 - brief training of transport modelling software based on a practical example

| Evaluation conditions (participation and/or pass) | ✔ |
|
| Conditions | Submission of the Assignment in time is compulsory (evaluation during teaching period). |
|
|
|
| Consequences | In case the Assignment(evaluation during teaching period) is not submitted or not submitted in time, this will result in a 'N' on the whole course. |
|
|
|
| Additional information | In case the student has a resit, the student needs to ask the teacher which part(s) he needs to redo during resit.
Detailed information on evaluation conditions, consequences, retention of partial marks and the second examination period for this course is available in the course study manual. |
