Description of module content:

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.

Learning Outcomes for module:

Upon completion of this module you will be able to

LO1: Discriminate between street layout types in relation to management of transport demand.

LO2: Design parking, walking, cycling and inclusive mobility measures in support of TDM strategies.

LO3: Prepare a transport assessment report for a new development using appropriate guidelines.

LO4: Interpret the key aims and objectives of road safety strategies at local and national level.

LO5: Critically assess road collision data and recommend solutions using statistical techniques.

LO6: Formulate recommendations for a road safety audit report from a designer’s brief.
