Transportation Systems and Demand Analysis
Description
This course focuses on behavioral theories, quantitative methods, and qualitative methods to analyze human behaviour in the transportation engineering field. The course will cover microeconomic and discrete choice analysis techniques with applications for modeling travel behaviour and demand in networks. Specific topics will include: survey design, utility theory, discrete choice models, alternative decision rules, forecasting, qualitative interviewing, focus groups, and emerging data analysis methods. Course content will address a variety of human-centred transportation problems through practical application. The primary objectives of the course are for students to gain a fundamental understanding of behaviour in transportation, learn and apply methods for assessing and analyzing human behaviour, and obtain modelling experience for their future careers.Learning Outcomes
