• Transport professionals, planners, and policymakers that need to interact with macro transport models and interpret their outputs.
• The models used in this micro-credential follow the structures mandated by the National Transport Authority and will provide the learner a comprehensive overview of the structure of these models and as such would be valuable to those requiring knowledge on how these models are used in transport appraisals.
Why should I take this Micro-credential?

• This micro-credential examines pathways to lowering emissions through promoting shifts to sustainable modes of transport and reducing emissions from existing modes of transport and is part of the only Level 9 course dedicated to transport engineering and modelling.
• It covers the basis of the four-stage transport model used by National Transport Authority in the evaluation of transport projects.
• Providing students with detailed knowledge of the concepts and processes of transportation modelling.
