This module will provide you with the knowledge and principles of Transport Demand Management (TDM) and Road Safety. The course is divided into two parts.

The first part of the course investigates TDM in the urban context. You will start by considering the role that urban design and streets have to play in managing demand. This will be developed in subsequent units to include the promotion of sustainable active travel modes, such as walking and cycling, through good infrastructure design. This first part of the module will be concluded looking at measures to restrain demand, through parking control and development management.

The second part of the course considers road safety. You will learn first about road safety policy and strategy and how this translates in to engineering, education and enforcement measures. This will be followed by the collection and analysis of collision data. The module will conclude with units on the prevention of collisions through speed management and building safety into design through road safety audits.
