The module is divided into three parts including a total of 14 units. The contents of these units are as follows:Part 1: Introduction to transport planning and modellingThis section includes introduction to transport planning and modelling and data collection. Part 2: Transport and Traffic ModelsThis section includes trip generation techniques; trip distribution modelling (growth factor and synthetic techniques); modal choice modelling, Traffic flow theory, Microscopic simulation models, Random models of traffic and queuing models.Part 3: Assignment and Route Choice ModelsThis part includes route choice studies; traffic assignment models (including capacity restrained and stochastic methods); elastic demand methods; matrix estimation. Overview of currently used transport modelling software.

Upon completion of this module you will be able to

LO1: Examine the elements of transport planning techniques.

LO2: Discriminate types of data and methods of data collection for transport planning, including ethical implications.

LO3: Conceptualise and model the traveller decision-making process.

LO4: Critically understand and apply methods of network modelling and zoning systems.

LO5: Critically appraise and apply different modelling approaches to the simulation of traffic flows.
