Urban transportation planning -


Web course

COURSE OUTLINE

This course introduces four stages of urban transportation


planning i.e., trip generation, trip distribution, mode choice
NPTEL
modeling and route assignment. http://nptel.ac.in
The course will give exposure to land-use transport models.
After going through the course students shall be able to
undertake a complete transportation planning exercise for a
Civil
city.
