Introduction to the Course (including objectives and requirements)

As a main disciplinary basic course for school oftransportation engineering, this course aims to help students master the basicprinciples and methodology of transportation network and traffic network flowon the basis of Numerical Analysis Method and Optimization, understand theformation of traffic network flow, cultivate the ability of network analysisand calculation (manual calculation and electric calculation included) and layfoundation of network analysis for transportation plan and transportationmanagement.Through specific research projectsand after-class reading and class discussion, the course can stimulatestudents’ research interest and cultivate students’ research ability in relatedfields. This course is to be taught in English so as to improve students’English ability and international perspective.
