Transportation Systems: Course Description
Transportation systems are best understood when viewed as a complex series of interconnected systems. This OpenCourseWare provided by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT)'s School of Engineering offers students an interdisciplinary education focusing on the history of transportation and the development of transportation systems. Transportation systems are influenced by such factors as location, use, safety and cost. Students will learn to identify these, and other, components of systems and their effects. Transportation systems are an integral part of modern society and culture and this course is taught with this idea in mind. Taught by MIT professor Joseph Sussman, this OpenCourseWare provides an overview of effective transportation systems, their design and why they work. Throughout the course, students will develop an understanding of how transportation systems professionals use modeling technologies to predict the success or failures of transportation systems.
Study materials, lectures and notes are available for free online. If you're interested in this free OpenCourseWare, visit the transportation systems course page.
