Public and Private Transport Service Planning
(1) Transport Market (Passenger and Freight Traffic)
- Trip End Values (potentials of origins and destinations, mobility requirements)
- Trip Interchange Values (mode of transport trip purpose, transport route, volume and time, distances of domestic and transit transport)
(2) Transport systems (passenger- and freight traffic); technical characteristics and impacts of transport modes and carriers
- Performances, capacities
- Mode shares of transport modes and carriers
- Environment including interaction of settlements and traffic
- Macro-economic relevance
- Efficiency and funding
(3) Principles of Traffic Planning
- Planning levels and phases
- Evaluation of mobility requirements (O/D relations, desire lines, adaption to transport networks (segments/nodes, domestic / transit traffic)
- Decision-making factors of potential user groups with respect to transport modes
- Interactions and contexts Service supply - Production - Infrastructure - Transport
- Objectives of transport politics and acceptance of transport projects
- Impacts on third parties and environment
(4) Planning Procedures for Public Transportation
- Market-/structure analysis of space/network, utilisation, service supply and production according to the network hierarchy for long distance, regional, urban and local traffic including transport chains from door to door or from suppliers to purchasers
- Planning steps: from demand desire lines to service concepts
- Specific use of different transport modes for major, medium and local distributors
- Service principles with respect to capacity, connectivity, effectiveness (radials, diameters, cross-country or cross-city)
- Formulation of goals for accessibility, spatial and temporal availability, travel time, safety, comfort, convenience including interchanging, effectiveness (patronage)
- Service concepts using network graphics
- Economic impact and measurement
- Evaluation of service options from perspective of users, transport carriers, politics and concerned population.
(5) Planning Procedures for Private Transportation
- Network hierarchies according to its function and road types
- Network configuration including interactions subject to settlement developments and requirements from domestic/transit traffic
- Principles of traffic sequences and dimensioning of sections and nodes
- Traffic concepts including traffic regimes and management
- Design concepts for road space, sections(nodes, circulation/lanes, public transport, public space, interchanges
- Principles of road project planning (alignment including cross-sections, gradients, visibility, nodes/roundabouts)
- Road infrastructure costs (investments, maintenance)
- Feasibility studies taking into account transport demand, political and technical feasibility, environmental-friendly, realisability)
- Principles of Slow Traffic ( Performance and infrastructure requirements and request for space)
(6) Realisation of Rail Infrastructure Projects
- Planning principles: Development of rail networks being based on technical characteristics and operational functionalities
- Core elements: topology of sections, junctions and stations
- Development processes, simulations of different options including assessments
(7) Concepts for Freight Transportation
- Market reviews (good types, , requests for different transport modes, transfers, transport times and distances)
- Significance of freight transport as part of the entire logistic chain
- Different kinds of freight transport according to purposes (domestic or transit on road or rail
