Traffic & Transport Solutions to Increase Sustainability
Course Info
Course Summary
The traffic and transport industry is extremely vast and has been vital for hundreds of years. Common standards and practices have evolved countless times to continuously meet customer demands. However, in modern times, the demands of this industry have shifted to meeting sustainability standards.
Sustainability is an ever-growing concern in the modern world, and the transport systems are currently rather unsustainable. To transition to meet new industry standards, organisations and individuals involved need to have a thorough understanding of the fundamentals of each traffic mode and how the current practices can be better optimised and improved.
While many traffic modes are inherently less sustainable, there must be a strong focus on understanding the challenges faced within these modes before starting the process of strategic planning and implementation. Sustainability changes do not have to be drastic; even minor changes to internal functions can greatly reduce the environmental damage the service may be causing.
Upon completion of this course, participants will be able to:
- Identify the individual characteristics of all traffic modes.
- Analyse specific characteristics to see how they benefit the traffic mode.
- Assess the market demand for suitable traffic modes.
- Review the fundamental principles of various traffic modes.
- Effectively manage traffic modes.
- Address key issues and risks associated with the traffic project lifecycle.
- Evaluate the vitality of sustainable traffic practices.
- Investigate how industry standards are evolving to be more sustainable.
- Implement changes to increase sustainability while maintaining efficiency.
This course is designed for anyone responsible for evolving current traffic and transport practices into more sustainable practices. It would be most beneficial for:
- Civil Engineers
- Strategic Development Directors
- Research Consultants
- Traffic and Transport Engineers
- Traffic Project Managers
- Logistics and Distribution Managers
- Telecommunication Analysts
This course uses a variety of adult learning styles to aid full understanding and comprehension. Participants will review genuine examples of different traffic modes to highlight current areas of practice that can be evolved into more sustainable practices.
They will be provided with the tools necessary to effectively carry out the learning exercises offered. With presentations, case studies, practical exercises, and video material, participants can develop a comprehensive understanding of the content taught. They will also be able to individually conduct a SWOT analysis of sustainability about their specific roles to demonstrate their newly acquired skills.
