| The purpose is to provide an overview of the functionality in Geograpical Information Systems (GIS) to be used as a tool in the advanced courses at DTU Transport. Different modules in ArcGIS are introduced. Furthermore the purpose is to learn the basic planning process for road project assessments and use this to calculate impacts and evaluate a major road project. |
| Learning objectives: | | A student who has met the objectives of the course will be able to: | - Carry out a need assessment for a road project and based on that to specify the project
- Motivate and choose a suitable road alignment and design
- Estimate construction costs
- Carry out a route choice and traffic assignment, explain and interpret the results
- Carry out a quality control of results from an assignment model
- Calculate induced traffic and interpret the results
- Calculate impacts, describe and interpret the results
- Carry out an analysis of accessibility and mobility and illustrate these in GIS-maps
- Complete a cost-benefit analysis of a road project and interpret the results
- Write a technical report
- Use to produce simple maps to illustrate and analyze data and results
- Present own work/project orally and discuss it with the audience
