CIVE 784 Adv Transportation Systems
This course focuses on the efficient integration of different modes of
transportation via multi-modal points in an urban area. An individual’s trip consists of a combination of various modes of transportation including, auto (driver), auto (passenger), public transit (bus, rail, air), active modes (bike, walk), and other emerging modes. In order to implement such integration, it is essential to understand the mode- specific characteristics, associated utility, and logic models. It is also necessary to determine which intermodal points are suitable for the mode-pair transfers and when and how the transfers are to be executed. Recent research advances in transportation systems will be discussed.
