Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

Aims:
The course introduces concepts, theories, and techniques for network analysis and urban transportation planning. In addition, students will explore selected fundamental and contemporary transportation related issues. After taking the class, students are expected

- to become familiar with core concepts in geography of urban transportation;
- to develop an understanding of network analysis techniques
- to apply learned theories and techniques in studies of various spatial problems
- to acquire skills to perform transportation analysis in a GIS environment

Contents:
- Network Representation
- Network Analysis in GIS
- Transportation and Urban Form
- Location-allocation Modeling
- Urban Transportation Modeling
- Urban Transportation Issues

Method:
Lectures, Labs, in-class practices, Journal article review (one article by each student)
