Outline
To provide for the mobility of people is one of important factors to support our daily lives, not only in developed countries but also in developing ones. Transportation also influences patterns of growth and economic activity by providing access to land. The performance of the system affects public policy concerns like air quality, environmental resource consumption, social equity, land use, urban growth, economic development, safety, and security. Transportation planning recognizes the critical links between transportation and other societal goals. It is needless to say that planning for transportation facilities, demand analysis, project evaluation method, and trip survey technique are key factors in order to obtain efficient transportation services, which include both private cars and public transportation such as buses and trains.
From such a viewpoint, this course is aimed at providing fundamental concept and/or knowledge associated with transportation planning and results of application, particularly focusing on transportation in cities.
Benefits of the course is to obtain the fundamental knowledge to urban transportation systems, computable general equilibrium model, input-output analysis, computable urban equilibrium modeling, and the role of transportation planning against city planning.
