Course Objectives
To provide analytical tools for those students interested in majoring in transportation to analyze the transport systems.
Course Content
Development of transportation demand and supply models. Analysis of cost functions, cost estimating methods and some general cost function. Merging supply and demand models for network equilibration. Simulation and optimizing approaches for equilibrium. Evaluation of alternative transportation systems. Transport regulation in an inefficient or in an excessive competitive environment. Cost and demand conditions of a regulated industry.
Course Learning Outcomes
With the material presented in the course one could analyze any civil system in terms of cost and performance level which provides piece of information for decision making.
The course content is aimed at increasing the skill in the design of the transport network within problem-solving framework. An ability to apply knowledge of mathematics, science, and engineering, an ability to design and conduct experiments, as well as to analyze and interpret data, and ability to design a system, component, or process to meet desired needs.
