Welcome to the Transport Modelling course!
The course belongs to the elective courses of the Master's Program in Spatial Planning and Transportation Engineering.
The course is intended for Master's and PhD students and it is offered in English.
The course is aimed at learning the objectives and roles of models in transportation systems analysis. Moreover, it includes components of Innovation and Entrepreneurship supported by the Aalto Ventures Programme (https://avp.aalto.fi/).
Learning outcomes
After successful completion of the course, a student is able to:
- Justify data collection and management methods and technology
- Apply trip-based, discrete-choice and activity-based models for transport systems
- Apply network theory to transport systems
- Explain differences and similarities between different models used for transport systems
- Follow scientific literature in transport systems modelling
Course content
The course contents include:
- Introduction to Transport Modelling
- Data management
- Trip generation
- Trip distribution
- Modal split
- Traffic assignment
- User equilibrium vs System optimal
- Activity-based modelling
- Integrated land-use and transport models

I would really appreciate your support in improving the quality of this course.
I will appreciate constructive feedback.
Grade 5 (weighted as a +5% in the final) is given if you just submit ALL your feedbacks.
To anonymise the feedback, your submissions will be at first only associated with nicknames. At the end of the course, I will share a document to link nicknames to your student numbers.
There will be 4 feedback assignments during this course:
- I&E competencies before the course
- Mid-course feedback survey
- I&E competencies after the course
- Final feedback survey (delivered via Aalto "official" channel)
