Course Contents

1. This course focuses on the interrelationship between transportation and land use, and related economic, social and environmental issues. The key learning objectives would be to:
   1. Appreciate the difference between travel demand and transport supply.
   2. As part of travel demand learn techniques for assessment, mitigation and management of traffic impact of current and proposed development.
   3. Understand key techniques for management and enhancement of transport supply.
2. Area Mobility Plan with an objective to promote and make way for sustainable mobility patterns, improve accessibility and promote livability.
3. Study of Travel Patterns- study the mobility profile of for residents and workers within the area. Modes used, trip lengths, trip purpose etc. Origin destination survey. Compare travel patterns with socio economic condition, housing typology and private vehicle ownership. Include public opinion on traffic, noise, accessibility and local environment as part of the study.
4. Assessment of Travel Demand -basic techniques for assessment of traffic impact of existing uses; surveys and analysis related to traffic generation rates and patterns, parking demand, non-motorized traffic, traffic conditions on surrounding roads and intersections. Basic principles of travel demand modelling could be used to simulate scenarios to test how change in the intensity of use of land could impact traffic in the area.
5. Transport Supply- diagnose key transportation issues in the area by undertaking studies for analysing traffic volume, journey speed, parking, pedestrian movement and access to public transport. Study the adequacy of transport infrastructure vis a vis travel demand studies undertaken earlier.
6. Impact of transport on local environment – noise, emissions, safety and quality of life. Developing indicators.
7. Consideration of needs of excluded groups such as children, elderly and women. Development of strategies consisting of planning, design and management measures.
