This course is divided into three fields of study, (1) airport engineering, (2) ports and harbors, (3) railway engineering. In airport engineering, the aircraft characteristics and design are first discussed and its effect on the planning and design of both the landside and airside facilities are then applied. Airport capacity and delay are also given emphasis. In ports and harbors, the course introduces the basic wave mechanics and the second part deals with engineering applications for harbors, their planning and design. In railway engineering, the planning, design and operation of rail (regional and urban) facilities are discussed. Focus is also given to route layout and location as well as the design of rail stations and terminals.

TRETRAN Transportation Planning
4 units
This course follows the traditional four-step urban transport planning which include – trip generation, trip distribution, modal split analysis, and traffic assignment. Trip Generation pertains to the understanding of where person trips are produced (trip production) and attracted (trip attraction) and includes such topics as uniform growth factor method, cross classification/categorical analysis and regression analysis. In trip Distribution, this pertains to where the person trips are distributed in each and every zone of the study area and the topics include the uniform growth factor method, the fratar method and gravity model. Modal split analysis considers the type of modes being used during travel, usually trips are basically divided into public and private modes and such models as logit choice analysis is being used. In Traffic Assignment, the trips are then assigned to the road network and the simplest methods used are the shortest path algorithms considering the distance or travel time. Furthermore other topics included are travel demand management and public transportation systems. This course has a laboratory component which uses Urban Transportation Planning software (EMME) and students are expected to develop an urban transport plan as their final project.
