Course Overview
The modelling of junctions, road networks and public transport systems provides fundamental information to support decisions taken on future land uses, investment in the transport system and other policy interventions. The mathematical programs underpinning commonly used modelling packages are highly complex and sophisticated systems. The mathematical “black box” combined with limited practical experience of modelling means that many people responsible for commissioning modelling activities find modelling a daunting area of responsibility. This course provides an introduction to the modelling tools commonly used, providing delegates with an understanding of the applicability of different models to various situations, and equips practitioners with simple techniques for checking model outputs.
The Modelling for Non-Modellers course has enabled me to develop a baseline of understanding across all scales of modelling. The course facilitators were knowledgeable and covered a range of traditional modelling topics as well as emerging trends. I feel more confident to commission models for highways schemes and in interpreting the results of strategic models.
