| CE73.36 : Transportation Planning Methods and Analysis 3(3-0) | ||||
| Course objectives: | ||||
There arevarious mathematical analysis methods, which are utilized in transportation studies. Transportation engineers must understand these methods, especially statistics and probability concepts in engineering. |
||||
| Learning Outcomes: | ||||
In this class, the fundamental mathematics, statistics, and probability theory required for studying transportation planning will be taught. In addition, the rationales of transportation planning approaches also will be discussed. The newly introduced theories and approaches after early 90’s will be included briefly. |
