Overview
This topic presents the general principles of transport planning and travel demand modelling, introducing the transport system planning process and its components. The topic will focus on the traditional "four-step" model, consisting of trip generation, trip distribution, modal choice and trip assignment with the extension to trip timing. It will … For more content click the Read More button below.

Aims
This topic aims to present planning and modelling solution methods for issue affecting transport network supply and operations. Students will develop familiarity with the tools available in the evaluation of current system state and for the assessment of alternative transport scheme impacts. This topic aims to provide students with skills to design and evaluate feasible transport systems.
