TRP 550. System Analysis in Transportation. (3,0). this course covers the systems approach and it application to transportation engineering and planning. It offers an examination of the characteristics and operation of transportation systems from several perspectives, including the importance of transportation costs, economic development, public policy considerations safety, and methodologies related to the analysis of transporation. Computer software (e.g., geographic information systems, transportation modeling packages, and statistical packages) to analyze transportation systems will be used as tools for prediction of flows and level of services, production functions and cost optimization, utility theory and demand modeling. Transportation network analysis and equilibrium assignment, decision analysis, and multidimensional evaluation of transportation projects are also included.
