Introduction, the scope of discipline of modelling, terminology. Types of models. Modelling of transport systems general approach to model design. Input data for models, possibilities and difficulties of data surveying and processing. Selected types of transport surveys. Discrete choice models, theory of utility. Four-step transport model general principles of design. Evaluation of intensities of origin and destination transport flows (trip generation).

Learning activities and teaching methods
Monologic (reading, lecture, briefing)
Learning outcomes
The target of the subject is to inform students about possibilities of application of models in transport and to acquaint students with basic methods, technics and approaches to design of transport models. Important part of the subject is in detail focused on four-step models of transport flows, on possibilities of their utilization and on methods utilized in these models.
Student is able to be well informed about the questions of modelling and to handle selected problems in the field of transport technology and control with the support of some software products designed for transport modelling.
