What's Next? [ back to top ]
The sequel to this course, CEE 228b Transportation Network Analysis II, provides a comprehensive follow-up focusing on advanced network topics. The state-of-the-practice in travel forecasting is presented in CEE 123/223 Transportation Systems Analysis and Design, and on a more advanced level in CEE220a and CEE 225a-b Transportation Planning Models I and II.
