Overview
This unit develops your understanding of the models used in the prediction and analysis of travel demand. The emphasis is on strategic network models which are used for longer-term network modelling and planning. The traditional four-step models of trip generation, mode choice and traffic assignment and contemporary methods such as tour-based and activity-based modelling are introduced. The capabilities of commercial network modelling packages are reviewed.
Offerings in 2023
The 2023 handbook lists no offerings for CIV6305.
