Purpose and Contents of the Course
This course focuses on learning some of methodologies to analyze transportations and regions, which are sometimes vulnerable to natural hazards. In addition to it, getting used to the essence of the basic way of theoretical and mathematical thinking in planning is another main target. For fulfilling these purposes, we choose three topics: 1) Traffic flow theory and modelling, 2) Logistics management and analysis, 3) Transportation modelling and statistics.
