The lecture course discusses the basic concepts, approaches and methods of transport planning in both their theoretical and practical contexts.

The course provides the necessary knowledge to develop models to understand, to support and to evaluate the solution of given planning problems.The course is composed of a lecture part, providing the theoretical knowledge, and an applied part in which students develop their own models in order to evaluate a transport project/policy.

Introduction of the basic principles of the design and operation oftransport systems (road, rail, air) and of the essential pathways of theirimpacts (investment, generalised costs, accessibilities, external effects), referring to relatively constant, and factors with substantial future uncertainty, in the past and expected evolution of transport systems.

The course presents cost benefit analysis and related evaluation methods in transport and introduces the survey methods used to derive the monetary values of non-market goods.

The goal is to integrate the contents of the lectures of the block “Transportation” through a joint set of exercises which will allow the students to understand how the parts come together in the design of transport systems. The exercise will be based on a Swiss city. The exercises will involve onsite work.

Network design, operations, dimension, construction, and maintenance of individual transport (IV) and public transport (OV) systems. Complexities and service interactions from the perspective of safety and environmental protection.

Interrelationships between networks, supply, and space; Demand and demand models; Infrastructure: public transportation, streets, water supply and management, electricity supply, information networks and telephony: costs, dimensions, capacity; Planning the supply: The example of public transportation; Operation and scheduling: example public transportation; Evaluation of changes in infrastructure.
