Prerequisites
Transport Systems, Transport EconomicsIntended learning outcomes
The course aims at presenting basic knowledge on the infrastructure of the traffic system, its constitution and functionalities, and about planning of infrastructure. The course is focused on road traffic and transportation of persons. After the course a student shall
- have knowledge on the conditions and methods used for planning of private car traffic, public transport and pedestrian and bicycle traffic.
- have knowledge of basic definitions and approaches used in road traffic planning.
- be able to evaluate a spatial plan based on given planning requirements and forecasts.
- be able to describe characteristics, functionalities and limitations of the major types of models used for traffic planning.
- be able to use a commercial planning software for performing traffic analyses.
- use the achieved knowledge along with principles for a cost—benefit calculation to make an overall evaluation of a traffic infrastructure project.
Course content
Brief introduction to urban planning and traffic planning. Civil engineering planning issues. Planning of public transports and pedestrian and bicycle traffic. Planning of road traffic. Evaluation of traffic systems. Introduction to planning methods and software. The four step model for traffic forecasts.
Teaching and working methods
The course contains a number of lectures, some of which might be given by external guests. A project, consisting of three tasks, is an essential part of the course, which partly are to be solved by use of a commercial software tool.
The course is given during both study periods of the spring semester.
