Introduction to Traffic & Transport Modelling

Aims:

This popular course is designed to familiarise transport engineers and planners with the basic techniques currently used in traffic and transport forecasting. In particular, it describes how the application of techniques has evolved to meet new requirements and levels of information introduced by the changing emphasis on the evaluation of schemes, measures, policies and packages. The course therefore provides practical knowledge and experience of the principles and techniques of transport modelling, as well as key issues of understanding and interpreting the output from transport models.

Target audience:

The course is aimed at:

• Engineers and planners with limited experience of traffic and transport modelling
• Managers and administrators seeking an awareness of model development and scheme appraisal
• Central and local government officers, members of consultancies and all those seeking an introduction to the techniques of traffic and transport modelling
• Transport engineers and planners
