• Factors underlying traveller choices of mode of travel, route choice and destination • Choice and how these processes can be represented mathematically. • The validity and source of information that comes from a sequence of travel • Forecasting models. • Knowledge of data required for transportation planning. • The main determinants of travel demand, and how to use statistical packages to study • those determinants • Ability to make tradeoffs with multiple factors in project planning and design. • Steps those are necessary to complete a long-range transportation plan. • How engineers and planners interact with local and regional governments, citizens and elected
officials to develop and interpret transportation plans.
