regulatory functions.
This subject is focus on basic aspects of planning, execution, 3
evaluation and application and research in the field of
transportation with emphasis on the various quantitative
and qualitative research methods and techniques.
This subject deal with management of operational activities 3
in a transport terminal, involving such terminal users as
carriers, passengers, cargoes and feeder carriers. Transport
terminals include all the four transport modes, i.e., vehicle
and railroad terminals, ports and airports.
Gain a working knowledge railroad engineering and 3
operators, along with related concepts for freight, intercity
passenger, and rail transit systems.
This course provides a thorough understanding of policy, 3
planning, operational and technical issues that affect urban
public transportation. It includes the historical
development of cities and the rise of urban transport.
Also concerned are the characteristics of various urban
transportation modes (their specific operating and
infrastructure characteristics), as well as key elements that
are critical to service provision, such as service planning,
scheduling, fare collection, communication and signaling,
station design and customer service. The course offers a
broad perspective on regional planning, capital
programming and policy matters. Special focus will be on
emerging technologies and their practical applications.
The course is a practical introduction in port operations and 3
port management. Explore the role of the main
stakeholders in designing, planning, controlling and
improving the port functions. Taking into consideration the
fierce competition in between major ports and the role of
major (container) carriers. Familiarize the students with the
various parties/stakeholders involved both from the
business environment and political background.
Define the various theories on models in transportation by
introducing different transportation modalities on their
own and in combination in the chain. Allow to see the role
of the parties involved in port politics, port operations,

This is an introductory course that examines the complex 3
relationship between transportation, land use and urban
form, and the varied instruments available to planners
seeking influence this relationship. The course is roughly
divided into three parts: First, we take a historical look at
how technological innovations, socio-demographic shifts
and political decision-making shaped the way people and
goods move around cities today. We explore the
contemporary “urban transportation problem and issues”
that extends beyond satisfying mobility needs into
addressing the impact of transportation choices on equity,
congestion, air pollution, safety, urban sprawl, etc. Second,
the course looks at how transportation planners craft
projects and policies that are both technically sound and
politically feasible, introducing (and critiquing) some of the
tools and skills used by professionals in this field. Third, this
course provides an overview of alternatives available to
transportation planners, as they attempt to (a) reduce the
public’s need for long and unnecessary motorized travel
and (b) shift the movement of people to more socially
efficient modes such as walking, biking, and public transit.
In this section, we survey transportation innovations
increasingly implemented in cities around the world, such
as congestion charging, bus rapid transit and bike-sharing.
Through lectures, discussions, case studies and written
assignments, this course aims to introduce students to the
field of transportation planning, and to develop their ability
to critically analyze transportation plans and policies.
This subject gives the student basic knowledge on the 3
theories of entrepreneur as applied to the business aspects
of transportation facilities and services. This enhances the

transport operation such as carrier services, transport
facilities operation such as vehicle terminals, ports,
airports, expressways, logistics and cargo distribution and
delivery services, travel arrangements, and transport
planning activities.
