Empirical Analysis for Transport en Planning

This course addresses data collection and data analysis problems and the associated modelling and model applications in typical transport planning and research problems. The course combines theory and methodology with direct application of the theory in four assignments covering all aspects presented during the lectures.

The following topics are covered in this course:

- Problem analyses, research questions and identification of required data and information.

- Data collection.

- Data analyses.

- Estimating discrete choice models.

- Estimating traffic parameters, such as critical gap distributions, headway distributions and capacity distributions.

- Application of the estimated models
