TRSS 412 - Urban Infrastructure Planning and Management

3 credits
3 lecture hours.

Transportation infrastructure is the collective reference to roads, bridges, rail lines, rapid transit, and similar public works. It is no secret, however, that these systems are aging and failing, and that funding has been insufficient to repair and replace them. The problem has particularly increased in recent years as a result of growing populations stressing society’s support systems, natural disasters creating more than unusual havoc, accidents, and terrorist attacks threatening infrastructure safety and security. The course is designed to discuss the use of geo-spatial analytical tools, economic and financial analysis tools, and optimization models that can be sued to develop decision support systems for managing transportation infrastructure assets.
