Class Objectives
/Class Outline The students will learn the basic theories about infrastructure development and planning and transport policies.

Class Schedule 1  Introduction and overview of transport statistics　
　The history of transport infrastructure development will be reviewed and the current stage of the development and planning will be introduced.
2/3　Traffic flows and highway capacity
　The fundamental theory of traffic flow and road capacity will be lectured.
4　Intersection design
　The design methods of road intersections and traffic control will be explained.
5　Transportation Networks
　The transport network theory and optimization methods will be lectured.
6/7　Road Planning in Neighborhood / Bicycle
　The basic theory of road planning in neighborhood and bicycle planning will be explained by introducing the actual plans.
8/9　Public Transport Planning
　Public transport planning (i.e. railway, bus, light rail transit, port and airport) will be introduced. Also the design methods will be explained.
10　Transportation Planning in Tourism
　The issues of transport planning in tourism will be discussed.
11　Transportation Demand Management
　Travel demand management measures to decrease congestion, traffic accidents and emission by appropriately managing the demand will be introduced.
12　Air Quality, Noise and Energy
　The countermeasures on environmental issues caused by transport sectors, i.e. air pollution, noise and energy consumption, will be discussed. Also the evaluation method of environmental value will be lectured.
13　Intelligent Transport Systems
　The recent development of ITS in US, Europe and Japan will be introduced. The advantages and disadvantages of ITS will be discussed.
14　Universal Design and barrier free in transport
　The concept of universal design of infrastructure will be lectured. Also the global standard and actual problems will be discussed.
