Assessment
Type of Assessment Weighting % LOs covered Week due Length in Hours/Words Description
Report 50 1~2~3~4 Week 8 , WORDS= 3000 Report: The summative assessment will be composed of two components, each worth 50% of the total module. Summative Assessment is one coursework report on ad Safety Assessment (LOs 1-4), and one on Transport Demand Measures (LOs 4-6). Coursework 1 will cover the road safety element of the course. The students will explore various aspects of road safety analysis based on what has been discussed in the lectures as well as independent research. Specifically, first the students will explore the sustainable policy context, then undertake a mini analysis of accident data, and eventually, recommend appropriate remedial measures or interventions
Report 50 4~5~6 Week 13 , WORDS= 3000 Report: Report: The summative assessment will be composed of two components, each worth 50% of the total module. Summative Assessment is one coursework report on ad Safety Assessment (LOs 1-4), and one on Transport Demand Measures (LOs 4-6). Coursework 2 will require students to reveiw well-established approaches to transport demand management Such methods have been accelerated in their implementation as a result of the global Covid-19 pandemic, which has seen an increased emphasis on providing environments more suited to walking and cycling, for reasons of public health. Students will draw on case studies of schemes that either have or are in the process of being implemented as well as the relevant academic research on their chosen topic.
