Learning Outcomes
Upon successful completion of the course, students are expected to:
-understand the fundamental principles and concepts in transport modeling and engineering.
-to gain knowledge and skills regarding the surveying, the collection and analysis of travel demand data, and the development of the “four-step models”
-be able to apply the basic travel demand forecasting methods with the use of computer tools.
