IM4102 Urban Transportation Systems Planning Syllabus:

IM4102 Urban Transportation Systems Planning Syllabus – Anna University PG Syllabus Regulation 2021

OBJECTIVES:

 To make the leaners to understand and explain the principles of the transportation system planning, covering both passenger and freight transports and the methodology of effective management of transport systems.

UNIT I INTRODUCTION

Introduction and concepts; demand for transport – nature of demand, temporal and special variations; factors influencing demand for transport; effect of land use and socioeconomic activities on the demand; conceptual difference between urban, interurban and regional transport planning processes; Interaction of land-use and transport planning processes; urban transport planning process (morphology).

UNIT II TRIP GENERATION AND DISTRIBUTION

Trip production process; household characteristics; classification based on trip purpose – trips for work, education, shopping, social and recreational purposes; influencing variables of trips made for different purposes; modelling trip production. Trip attraction process; attraction of trips for different purposes, factors influencing trip attraction for different trip purposes; modelling trip attraction. Presentation of trip distribution data – OD matrix, PA matrix to depict trip distribution among zones; factors influencing trip distribution; variable formulation, modelling trip distribution; Gravity model of trip distribution; calibration of Gravity models.

UNIT III MODE CHOICE ANALYSIS

Mode choice for different trip purposes; Influencing factors – socioeconomic characteristics of travelers and characteristics of the different modes of transport; influence of trip purpose on mode choice; modelling mode choice of travelers – trip-end and trip-interchange modelling; Disaggregate mode-choice models; utility concept; Logit model of mode choice; model calibration; model validation.

UNIT IV ROUTE ASSIGNMENT AND TRANSPORTATION SURVEYS

Route assignment – description of transport network for route assignment; influencing variables and assignment algorithms; all-or-nothing assignment; multipath traffic assignment; capacity restrained traffic assignment. Transportation surveys – inventory of existing travel pattern, transport facilities and land-use and economic characteristics; definition of the study area; cordon lines; zoning; types of movements in the study area; types of planning related surveys.

UNIT V THE OTHER RELATED TOPICS

Transport related land-use models – Land-use estimation procedure; the Lowry model of land use; the equation system; allocation functions; zonal constraints. Urban Structure – urban activity systems; urban movement hierarchies; types of urban structure – centripetal, grid and linear types. Urban goods movement – factors influencing urban goods movement; classification of urban goods movement; principles of modeling urban goods movement.

OUTCOMES:

C01 Explain transportation planning concepts, the planning morphology and distinction between urban and interurban transportation planning processes.
C02 Explain trip generation and trip distribution processes; formulate causal variables and develop trip generation and trip distribution models.
C03 Identify and analyze the factors influencing mode-choice of urban travelers, calibrate logit model of mode choice to apply for the given urban area.
C04 Develop route assignment variables and calibrate route choice models for assignment of trips distributed to the traffic zones in an urban area.
C05 Explain the conceptual analytical aspects transport related land-use models; describe the principals involved in urban structure and urban goods movement.
