| Outline and Purpose of the Course |
This class is aimed at making students understand significance and issues of both road transportation and logistics systems and outlining IT-based management measures for the systems together with the corresponding basic theories. Some practical exercises are provided to the students in order to make them understand deeply the effects and issues of management measures. |
||
| Course Goals | This class is aimed at encouraging the students to obtain basic knowledge about the various issues in the filed of Transportation and Logistics management and the corresponding countermeasures using ICT. The students are especially expected to acquire the ability to make the plans to mitigate the related issues and to objectively evaluate them by themselves. | ||
| Schedule and Contents |
In terms of management for road transportation system, this class outlines the basic idea of travel demand management (TDM) and congestion charging. Also the applicability of intelligent transportation system (ITS) for effective management is discussed in this class. Concerning management for logistics system, the various issues caused by freight transportation, such as traffic jam and environmental impact are explained, and this class also outlines approaches to evaluate the corresponding countermeasures including intelligent dispatching problem and optimal location problem for depot. In addition, the impact of e-commerce upon logistics system is discussed in this class. While the detailed schedule will be announced later before the 2nd semester, the tentative schedule of class is as follows: 1. Present status and issues of road transportation system, 2. ITS to enhance efficiency in road transportation, 3. ITS to enhance safety in road transportation, 4. Management for intercity expressway, 5. Outlines of travel demand management (TDM), 6. Congestion charging, 7. Application of TDM and various issues 8. Discussion on management for transportation system 9. Present status and issues of freight transportation and logistics 10. Problem of location of logistics terminals 11. Intermodal freight transportation 12. Basics for vehicle routing and scheduling problems 13. Vehicle routing and scheduling problems utilizing ITS 14. Performance evaluation for logistics and Public Private Partnership 15. E-commerce and logistics |
||
| Evaluation Methods and Policy | The assessment for each student may be made mainly considering two factors: 1) usual commitment to the class (participation in the class, assignment) and 2) final report. The weight for final report may be around 80% in terms of grading. | ||
| Course Requirements |
The students who take this class are required to master the basic mathematics, such as calculus, linear algebra and statistics. |
||
| Study outside of Class (preparation and review) | At almost every class, the assignment related to the topics of the class is given to the students and they are required to write the report for the assignment. The students are expected to have a chance to review the contents of class through writing the report for the assignment. | ||
