Overview
This unit develops your understanding of the models used to support decisions about the planning or operation of the transportation system. The emphasis is on strategic network models which are used for longer term network planning and microsimulation models which focus on operational considerations. The traditional four step models of trip generation, mode choice and traffic assignment are considered in detail. The unit introduces the principles of simulation when applied to transport operations.
