Course Objectives
|
Course Objectives: Objectives of the course are as under:
- Introduction to the concepts of Transportation system evaluation through rigorous analytical techniques.
- Give broad insight into the different facets of transportation system evaluation and planning.
- Providing a solid introduction to transportation demand and cost analysis, engineering economic analysis and environmental consequences of transportation projects.
- Appreciation of the science involved in multi criteria decision making and transportation programming, through the use of different case studies.
Course Outcomes: This course is designed to provide an overview of the Urban transportation systems evaluation. On successful completion, students will:
- Build an understanding of major transportation related issues and problems in Pakistan and abroad as they pertain to the planning and evaluation of transportation facilities and services.
- Develop an understanding of transportation problems in context of system approach.
- Understand how to apply systems evaluation techniques, using economics, and urban planning principles to transportation investments decisions.
- Enhance students’ personal skills including their ability to think conceptually and analytically.
- Develop an understanding of different methodologies to predict transportation demands and costs.
- Develop a broad picture of how, principles of economics can be applied within the context of transportation systems to understand the effects of different plans and policies.
