Announcing a one-week summer course by the MIT Professional-Institute:
MODELING AND SIMULATION FOR DYNAMIC TRANSPORTATION MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS
August 9 - 13, 1999
This one week program studies in-depth a suite of traffic models and
modeling methods and their applications to designing, evaluating, and
operating real-time traffic management systems. Participants learn about
origin-destination estimation and prediction for real-time applications;
dynamic traffic assignment methods; traffic flow models; traffic control and
guidance systems; and off-line evaluation methods using traffic simulation.
The program includes demonstration of existing software. Applications include
both realistic and hypothetical situations.The emphasis will be on
fundamentals essential to both practitioners and researchers in the field.
The course is sponsored by the MIT Intelligent Transportation Systems
(ITS) Program, and is intended for analysts, engineers, managers and planners,
as well as industry, government and academic researchers who seek to
understand and design real-time traffic management systems. Participants
with backgrounds in diverse areas such as traffic engineering, systems
engineering, transportation planning, operations management, operations
research and control systems are welcome.
Lectures will be given by Professor Moshe Ben-Akiva, Director of the MIT ITS
program, as well as an international panel of researchers and professionals
who have studied in-depth all aspects of dynamic traffic management.
