About this course
This online engineering PDH course articulates a framework for managing demand to improve the performance and ef¬ficiency of transportation systems. The framework consists of three elements: demand-side strategies, travel choices, and application settings.
An illustration of the framework might be a large urban hospital (the application setting) which causes traffic congestion when employees’ work shift ends. Introduction of flextime for the employees (a demand-side strategy) would cause employees to alter their travel departure times (affect their travel choices), thus lessening congestion.
The course describes dozens of strategies and shows how they can affect a wide array of travel choices in many different application settings. Numerous real-life examples are given.
Topics:
Demand-side strategies
Mode choices
Departure-time choices
Route choices
Trip reduction choices
Origin/destination location choices
