4. Transport Planning and Policy II

Previous course now divided into two courses

711-58 Planning Policy and Management of Transport and Urban Infrastructure

Course Objective: Fundamental knowledge of transport engineering, planning and policy

Grading Policy: Grading will be determined as follows: 

Attendance = 10 percent; 

Presentation = 50 percent; 

Contribution to discussion = 40 percent, 

Total: 100 percent

Prerequisite: Theory and Method of Transport and Urban Infrastructure (711-59)

Course Content: 

This course covers a variety of themes, all related to planning, policies and managements of transport and urban infrastructure. It presents both theories and examples for many kinds of transport modes and investments. It discusses current policies and managements that are addressed by ministries of several countries and local governments that are considered important to transport practitioners but are not tackled in the other courses. Many of the topics introduced in this course will be presented at the intermediate level.

The details of the course description, schedule and requirements will be shown in the first class, Oct. 7, 2002.
