Courses

Introduction to transportation systems

  • Introduction
  • Fundamentals
  • Value of time
  • Mathematical modeling
  • Travel demand and Networks
  • Assignment
  • Congestion pricing
  • Logistics
  • Cost benefit analysis

Decision-aid methodologies in transportation

The course has two modules, the first Operations Research (OR), and the second is statistical modeling of transportation systems. Students will be modeling applied problems and developing solution methods and modelling of driver behavior for decision support in transportation.

Introduction to optimization and operations research

Introduction to major operations research models and optimization algorithms

Mathematical modelling of behavior

Discrete choice models allow for the analysis and prediction of individuals' choice behavior. The objective of the course is to introduce both methodological and applied aspects, in the field of marketing, transportation, and finance.
