Course content
Knowledge of GIS-based methods and tools that can be used as support for integrated land use and transport planning. Focused on network modelling and other methodology to describe accessibility for different modes of transport. Special emphasis is placed on analyzes and models that support planning for non-motorized modes of transport and public transport.
Learning outcome
Knowledge: The functionality of network models and network graphs in geographic information systems (GIS), used for supporting integrated urban land use and transport planning. Network data sources and reference systems, cartography and cartographic methods, relevant to the needs and scope of accessibility planning. Data structures, data models and analysis techniques. Also knowledge of raster models used for transport purposes ("path distance" tools). Skills: Facilitation of network data for various transport modes in a GIS, including transit networks with schedule data. Preparation for and implementation of network creation and analysis. Implementation of raster analysis. General competence: to make use of acquired knowledge and skills solving a variety of tasks related to accessibility analysis and linking transport and land use planning.
Learning methods and activities
Lectures. Instructor-led exercises. Individual exercises.
Further on evaluation
The exercise counts 50% towards the final grade in the course. Both exercises and written exam must be passed to pass the course. You can register for a re-scheduled examination in the next exam period.When exercises have been passed, grading will be valid for 1,5 years and might be included for a re-scheduled exam.
Recommended previous knowledge
The course is developed in conjunction with "AAR4225 Integrated transport and land use planning" which is taught in the same semester. It is not mandatory to take both courses, but it is still recommended.
Required previous knowledge
Basic knowledge about geographic information systems (GIS), and skills in using GIS software. The candidate must have passed the examination in either AAR4841, TBA4240, GEOG1012 or similar courses.
Course materials
Compendium and/or textbook will be announced before the beginning of the course.
It is advised, but not required, to use private PC for the exercises. The exercises will be relatively heavy tasks in GIS software (ArcGIS, ArcGIS Pro, QGIS), thus the following requirements specification is recommended:
Processor: Intel minimum i5, preferably i7 or xeon. AMD Ryzen 5, 7 or 9.
64 bit operating system (Windows 10 or later)
At least 8 GB RAM, preferably 16 GB
Storage capacity HD or SSD min. 500 GB
Dedicated video card of at least 4 GB, Nvidia or AMD
Students who do not have a PC that follows this specification will be allowed to use local data labs.
