Operations & Supply Chain Management
Modern Transportation: Advanced
A five-day course on advanced planning and management of transport networks, covering network design, demand modelling, multimodal integration, mobility-as-a-service, electrification, pricing and regulation, appraisal and funding, and performance measurement. Participants learn to justify network decisions with modelled evidence and plan decarbonisation with credible numbers.
Introduction
Transport systems now generate continuous data from vehicles, infrastructure, and ticketing, yet many networks still plan from last year's figures. Advanced transport management means using that data to price demand, rebalance capacity, electrify fleets, and integrate modes without breaking service. This Modern Transportation: Advanced Training Course gives transport planners, engineers, and mobility managers a complete working method at that level. Participants learn mobility strategy and network design, demand modelling, multimodal integration, electrification and alternative fuels, contract and regulation design, and performance and funding frameworks.
Modern Transportation: Advanced Course Objectives
- Apply advanced network design and service planning methods.
- Model demand with travel surveys, big data, and four-step modelling.
- Design multimodal integration: fares, ticketing, and interchange.
- Apply mobility-as-a-service and account-based ticketing models.
- Plan fleet electrification with charging strategy and grid considerations.
- Apply congestion pricing, road user charging, and demand management.
- Design contracts and regulation for operators and concessions.
- Apply safety, accessibility, and emissions standards to network design.
- Build appraisal cases with cost-benefit analysis and funding options.
- Measure network performance with reliability, coverage, and cost per trip.
Course Methodology
- Facilitated sessions built on real network plans, demand data, and contract documents.
- Case workshops on congestion pricing, mode integration, and electrification rollout.
- Demand modelling, appraisal, and pricing exercises with live data.
- Contract and regulation review labs.
- Group exercise on an advanced transport strategy with measurable targets.
Who Should Take This Course
- Transport planners and network strategy managers.
- Mobility and smart city programme leads.
- Traffic and transport engineers.
- Public transport authority and operator staff.
- Consultants and analysts in transport policy.
- Regulators and funding agency specialists.
