Course Summary
The industry of traffic and transport is extremely vast and has been a vital industry 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 the requirements of 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 traffic modes before starting on the process of strategic planning and implementation. Sustainability changes do not have to be drastic, even carrying out minor changes to internal functions can greatly reduce the environmental damage the service may be causing.
- To identify the individual characteristics of all traffic modes.
- To analyse specific characteristics to see how they benefit the traffic mode.
- To assess the market demand for suitable traffic modes.
- To review the fundamental principles of various traffic modes.
- To effectively manage traffic modes.
- To address key issues and risks associated with the traffic project lifecycle.
- To evaluate the vitality of sustainable traffic practices.
- To investigate how industry standards are evolving to be more sustainable.
- To implement changes to increase sustainability while maintaining efficiency.
This course is designed for anyone with the responsibility of evolving current traffic and transport practices into more sustainable practices. It would be most beneficial for:
- Civil Engineers
- Strategic Development Directors
