Description
Objectives
Graduates should be able to:
- demonstrate an understanding of the (analytic) techniques relevant to the planning, design, management and operation of transport and traffic facilities
- demonstrate an understanding of the policy context of transport including interactions between transport technology
- demonstrate an understanding of the the land use and urban activity system and institutional/economic dimensions
- practice critical appraisal of the literature and evidence when evaluating the appropriateness of particular transport technologies or solutions to transport problems
- demonstrate knowledge and skills in a number of chosen areas of special interest.
Requirements
Students must complete 24 points as follows:
Core units
- CIV5301 Traffic engineering fundamentals*
- CIV5302 Road traffic: engineering and management
- CIV5314 Transport planning and policy*
* Students awarded credit for the graduate certificate do not undertake these units but must make up the required credit points for the graduate diploma by selecting sufficient units from the elective units listed below. Students exiting from the masters must have undertaken all three core units.
Elective units
Depending on previous studies, select one to three units from:
- CIV5303 Quantitative methods
- CIV5304 Intelligent transport systems
- CIV5305 Transport modelling
- CIV5306 Road safety engineering
- CIV5307 Parking policy and design
- CIV5308 Case studies in transport
- CIV5310 Infrastructure project and policy evaluation
- CIV5312 Asset management I
- CIV5313 Asset management II
- CIV5315 Transport economics
- CIV5316 Fundamentals of urban public transport
Total: 24 points
Progression to further studies
Award(s) received on completion *
* Where more than one award is listed, or in the case of double degrees, where more than one award is listed for one or both components of the double degree, the actual award/s conferred may depend on units/majors/streams/specialisations studied, the level of academic merit achieved (eg in the case of 'with honours' programs), or other factors relevant to the individual student's program of study.
