Course Overview
The online certification course on Urban Transportation Systems Planning by Swayam will be covering the challenges need for efficient and effective planning of urban transport that is required in the modern-day. The online program will further be addressing the- growing travel demand and will be helping to formulate strategies to maintain sustainable development in a more affordable and sustainable way.
The Urban Transportation Systems Planning training has been divided and subdivided into nine modules that will be held for a period of twelve weeks. The session will further help in capacity building amongst policymakers, master students, and practitioners.
The Urban Transportation Systems Planning certification syllabus includes- Probit analysis, Logit model, Nested logit model, Two-stage modal split models, Multinomial logit model, Estimation of logit models. The course will be helping the students to make decisions and transport planning to make the urban transport more efficient and effective.
