Multi-modal Freight Transportation System and Infrastructure

Systems Hub / Intelligent Transportation · 3 Credits

This course aims to introduce multi-modal (rail, road, waterway, etc.) freight transportation operations and infrastructure systems. It comprises four inter-connected parts: 1) introduce basic modal-specific concepts and industry development; 2) explain widely used modeling techniques used in the multi-modal and inter-modal freight systems; 3) introduce transportation infrastructure management for different modes; and 4) apply the methodologies to emerging high-profile transportation research topics (e.g., resilience planning) through a term project.
