TRETRAN Transportation Planning
4 units
This course follows the traditional four-step urban transport
planning which include trip generation, trip distribution, modal
split analysis, and traffic assignment. Trip Generation pertains to
the understanding of where person trips are produced (trip
production) and attracted (trip attraction) and includes such
topics as uniform growth factor method, cross
classification/categorical analysis and regression analysis. In trip
Distribution, this pertains to where the person trips are
distributed in each and every zone of the study area and the
topics include the uniform growth factor method, the fratar
method and gravity model. Modal split analysis considers the type
of modes being used during travel, usually trips are basically
divided into public and private modes and such models as logit
choice analysis is being used. In Traffic Assignment, the trips are
then assigned to the road network and the simplest methods
used are the shortest path algorithms considering the distance or
travel time. Furthermore other topics included are travel demand
management and public transportation systems. This course has a
laboratory component which uses Urban Transportation Planning
software (EMME) and students are expected to develop an urban
transport plan as their final project.
