Course content

Theoretical basis and use of traffic- and transport models.

Advanced traffic flow theory and transport analysis.

Use of simulation and modelling tools to evaluate quality of traffic flow, route choice, energy, emissions and travel behavior.

Models for traveller behavior and estimation of traffic safety effects.

Learning outcome

Knowledge (The candidate should have knowledge of):

  • Driving forces and factors which affects travel behavior
  • Theoretical basis of traffic- and transport models
  • Verification, calibration and validation of models
  • Practical use of traffic- and transport models
  • Traffic signals and priority
  • Traffic safety models

Skills (The candidate is able to):

  • Arrange data, establish model and carry out model calculations to estimate impact of infrastructure and other transport schemes
  • Select appropriate model for different issues
  • Interpret, understand and communicate results from model calculations
  • Assess limitations, uncertainty and sensitivity in results from models

General competence (The candidate can):

  • Use results from model calculations as a basis for an overall decision basis for sustainable transport solutions
  • Approach professional discussions within transport, both public and disciplinary, with critical curiosity
  • Solve tasks both on your own and as a part of a team

Learning methods and activities

Lectures, workshops and exercises. The lectures and exercises are in English when non-Norwegian speaking students follow the subject.

Compulsory assignments

  • Exercises

Further on evaluation

A written exam counts for 70% of the subject grading, and one larger project work counts for 30%. A certain number of exercises and activities have to be approved to be eligible for the exam.

If there is a re-sit examination, the examination form of the written may be changed from written to oral. Re-sit of any other partial assessments must be done in a semester when the course is taught.
