The course includes introduction to, and theoretical background of, different types of models (approaches, principles, scopes). The course also deals with frequent applications, essential differences between applied theories and limitations of the different models as well as handling stochasticity and uncertainty in simulation models. Students should practice all parts in a traffic simulation project preparing their assignment with the most commonly applied softwares for simulation and modelling. The project will include data collection and preparation, calibration, validation, analysis of software output, comparison between alternatives and presention of results.
Learning is performed in various teaching assignment forms such as lectures, group assignments and computer assignments. Examination is done by oral and written presentation.
Grading scale: TH - (U,3,4,5) - (Fail, Three, Four, Five)
Assessment: Approved assignments and project work. The final grade is awarded on the basis of the grade on the individual assignments and the final project report and an oral presentation.
The examiner, in consultation with Disability Support Services, may deviate from the regular form of examination in order to provide a permanently disabled student with a form of examination equivalent to that of a student without a disability.
