Module summary
he module provides students with understanding of transport modelling, covering the main underlying principles of network models andtraffic flow; introduces principles in transport economics and the application of traffic assignment in congestion pricing.Objectives
The module aims to:1 provide students with an understanding of transport modelling techniques;
2 provide students with knowledge of transport network models and their application in traffic assignment;
3 provide students with an introduction to transport economics and the application of traffic assignment in congestion pricing;
4 provide students with understanding of traffic flow fundamentals and their application in traffic engineering.
Learning outcomes
On completion of the module students will:
1. Understand the key principles of traffic assignment and its application in road network analysis and congestion pricing;
2. Understand the key principles of traffic flow and simulation models and their application in traffic engineering.
Syllabus
1. Introduction to transportation systems and modelling
2. Network analysis models: Wardrop equilibrium models and traffic assignment

Private study
Sufficient effort is expected for further reading after each lecture, as well as for seeking relevant literature and collating evidence acrossa range of sources for completing the coursework. Support to private study will be offered by face-to-face discussions, as well as by
VLE forums.
Opportunities for Formative Feedback
Students learning progress will be monitored by in-class responses, in-class test performances and the coursework process. Students will befully supported during the process of completing their coursework via a variety of channels including physical discussions as well as virtual
environment (e.g. VLE forums, emails etc). Feedback on coursework performance will be provided assisting the students to understand
weakness in the submitted work and suggesting ways that work can be improved. Feedback on in-class test performances will also be
provided to students.
