Teaching

The group offers various courses about transport planning, transport modeling, road safety, and research design. The courses are taught in english.

Winter semester 2024/25

The following courses are offered:

Travel Behavior: This course includes theories and and tools to understand and forecast travel behaviour.
Modelling Urban Development: This course discusses various types of models that are used to predict urban development with a mathematical model.
Applied Transport Modeling with MATSim: In this course the students apply the agent-based model MATSim to practical examples.
Scientific Methods and Presentation Skills: The course is designed for students who work on their master thesis. Doctoral candidates are welcome to attend this class as well.
Project Seminar: Independent project work on a planning or engineering case study based on a real application.

The following classes are offered:

Spatial Modelling: Tools to evaluate planning strategies: This class covers transportation models (trip-based, activity-based and freight models), land use models and models to estimate environmental impacts.
Object-Oriented Programming for Transport Engineers: This course serves as an introduction to object-oriented programming in JAVA, with specific applications for transport engineering.
Scientific Methods and Presentation Skills: The course is designed for students who work on their master thesis. Doctoral candidates are welcome to attend this class as well.
Road Safety Fundamentals: The main goal of the course is to learn about road safety theory and applications.
