Aim:
The purpose of the course is to give knowledge in traffic and transport modelling. Further, the course will help the student to gain knowledge in how the models can be used for making predictions, forecasts and sensitivity analysis. After finishing the course, the student shall:
- Motivate and derive basic discrete choice models
- Apply choice models for modelling of mode, demand the route in a traffic network
- Estimate parameters in basic discrete choice models of Logit type
- Formulate and use trip distribution, route choice, and demand models for evaluating price sensitivity and road charges
- Combine and analyse route choice models, demand models and choice model
- Make use of programs and tools for analysing the models stated above
|
|
Prerequisites: (valid for students admitted to programmes within which the course is offered)
Planning and simulation of traffic systems
Note: Admission requirements for non-programme students usually also include admission requirements for the programme and threshhold requirements for progression within the programme, or corresponding.
