Description
This Course is offered to 6th semester Transportation Sciences Major
The objective of this course is to get insight and practice in the design and use of mathematical models for the estimation of transport demand in the framework of major strategic transportation planning. The course consists of a number of lectures and several exercises. In the lectures the following subjects will be presented: • The functions of models in the transportation system analysis. • Types of models and their applications. • Theoretical foundations (travel choice theory). • Aggregated models for trip generation, distribution, model split and network assignment. • Disaggregated choice models. • Estimation of model parameters and calibration.
