Objectives and competences
The objective of this course is:
Students should understand the transportation planning process.
Students should be familiar with methods and techniques of transportation data collecting and analysis, with assessments and evaluations of developed measures.
Students should know the stages of transportation planning model.
Content (Syllabus outline)
1. Transportation planning process, overview
2. Development of measures; scenarios, variants.
3. Assessment of results of planned measures. Prognosis - methods: trend, model and quasi-prognosis.
4. Evaluation of results: multi-criteria, monetarization and cost-benefit, weighted indicators.
5. Transportation analysis – traffic and mobility data collection. Cordon and corridor analysis, tracking methods.
6. Transportation modeling, traditional four stages transportation model, overview.
7. Trip generation, production and attraction, purposes of travel. Methods of assessment (cross classification).
8. Trip distribution. Empirical and synthetical (gravitational) approaches. Origin-destination matrix.
9. Generalized costs. Assessment of mode choice and modal split. Logit approach.
10. Route choice and network assignment methods. Wardrope equilibrium, incremental methods.
Practical examples.
Use of transportation planning tools (PTV-Vision, TransCAD).
Learning and teaching methods
Lectures. Field work.
Using transportation modelling tools.
Intended learning outcomes - knowledge and understanding
Finishing this course, students:
Are skilled in travel and transportation data gathering.
Are skilled in presentation and basic analysis of traffic and mobility situation at certain location/area – ae skilled to conduct a simple transportation study.
Have a “know how” to prepare and implement the »classical« four step transportation model.
Have skills in using macroscopic transportation planning tools.
