Project Summary

The Institute of Transportation Studies at UC Irvine has been developing a web-based training program for Caltrans and local agency transportation engineering and planning staff to provide a foundation for transportation analysis skills. Initial course module development has been directed toward micro simulation modeling, travel forecasting (Four Step Models), and systems analysis. Proposed herein is an extension of this web-based training to include course modules to address current and emerging modeling and analysis for technical assessment, travel forecasting, and operational analysis of public transit systems and alternative transportation modes. These course modules will be developed in the same format as current modules and introduced as courses in the Sakai-based web-site hosted at ITS Irvine.
