| Description |
Part A: Principles in Transport Modelling
We will consider the transport modelling framework, incl. methodologies, procedures, data-requirements (e.g. land-use-data, behavioral data, opertional and network data). The standard 4-step modelling approach and related methods and algorithms will be discussed.
Part B: Transport Model Development
We get known both sides of transport modelling - demand side (passenger) and supply side (e.g. network, transport modes). Modelling from infrastructure modelling, traffic generation, traffic destinations, mode choice and route choice calculation methods are considered
Part C: Transport Model Quality
The value of a transport model is determined by its quality. Quality evaluation is based on model validation and calibration. Which are suitable empirical data (e.g. meaning of traffic counts) and how can they be used for quality evaluation?
Part D: Transport Model Application
We discuss the meaning of transport models for other disciplines like transport planning. Within selected use cases model setup and configuration are considered according to different planning tasks.
Part E: Practical Exercises
Practical exercises on transport modelling are provided in parallel to the lectures. Within these guided exercixes macroscopic transport modelling software (PTV Visum) will be appllied. Application of learned methodological approach(es) and critical reflection of the model outputs.Perspectives in transport modelling. Student presentation. |
