Course contents :
|
| The objective of this module is to provide an introduction to modeling and simulation of transport systems that are essential management tools. The module consists of three themes:
* Applied Operation Research - 18h (Daniel Tuyttens)
* Modeling freight transport - 12h (Sabine Limbourg)
* Modeling passenger transport - 15h (Eric Cornélis)

| | Public transport modelling |
|
| This lecture gives the basic concepts of persons transport modelling. It also presents some insights on data (needed for models) collection through mobility surveys. Finally, discret choices are introduced. |

Understand the limitations of the models<br /><br /> The students have to acuqire the needed bases so that they could understand used traffic models, be able to see their hypotheses and, as manger or adminsitrative responsible, be able to dialog with professionnals using models. |
