Following the successful of our 1 day transport CPD courses delivery in 2012, Newcastle University will be running Air Quality and Health course and Traffic Interventions for Environmental Management courses again, both taking place in June 2013 which I thought may be of interest to the list members:
Air Quality & Health<http://www.ncl.ac.uk/cegs.cpd/cpd/airqual.php>
Traffic Interventions for Environmental Management<http://www.ncl.ac.uk/cegs.cpd/cpd/tiem.php>
Details are below or via the links.
Traffic Interventions for Environmental Management - 11th June 2013
This short course provides an insight into how traffic signal control and traffic management interventions can reduce the impacts of traffic related pollution on public health and climate change at both a tactical and strategic level.
The course covers the modelling framework to allow the impacts on air quality of traffic management measures to be quantified. Using case studies by way of example, the potential environmental benefits of queue cascading and relocation to open space; road user charging; park and ride; reduction of speeds; new technologies etc. will be demonstrated, highlighting the limitations of current modelling frameworks.
The course is aimed at Traffic and Environmental experts and managers who are responsible for delivering solutions to traffic related air quality exceedances.
Fee £195

Air Quality and Health - 12th June 2013
This short course is aimed at air quality and health planners and experts who are interested in learning about:
* Sources of air pollution
* Impact of air quality on health
* Global and national air quality trends
* Spatial and temporal variations in air quality across a city/region
* Methodology for health impact assessment of changes in urban air quality using outputs from existing air quality modelling tools
The course is based upon internationally recognised research and extensive experience of working with local authorities and other partners.
Fee: £195
