Overview
Econometric modelling provides tools to study consumer choice behaviours and is needed in various fields of transport, economics, psychology, and sociology.
Econometric models are essential components for transport planning and demand analysis, including route choice, mode choice, freight demand and safety analysis.
This unit incorporates two modules, where the first module will introduce you to the fundamentals of econometric modelling and the second module focuses on its applications in transport and recent developments in passenger and freight transport analysis.
Learning Outcomes
On successful completion of this unit you will be able to:
- Examine econometric model solutions for engineering problems
- Implement econometric modelling techniques using appropriate tools and libraries
- Interpret client requirements for econometric model-based solutions to complex transport challenges
- Select a preferred econometric model solution to a complex Transport system design problem, prepare a detailed design for that solution, and assess its impacts
Content
Learning in this unit is within two modules
Module-1: Econometric modelling
- Overview of econometric modelling
-
State-of-the-art econometric models such as binary logit/probit models, multinomial logit/probit model, ordered logit/probit models and Count regression models.
Module-2: Econometrics of People and Freight Transport Models
- Applications of econometrics models in transport analysis for people
- Application of econometric models in transport analysis for freight
Learning Approaches
In this unit you can expect to experience the following activities:
- Lectures – 2 hours per week
- Tutorials/workshop – 2 hours per week
You will undertake problem-based learning tasks in groups, emphasising your ability of working as a team and your ability to communicate professionally.
Feedback on Learning and Assessment
During tutorial classes, with your group you will share your formative ideas for your project and you will receive feedback from teaching and learning team. You are encouraged to view your group as a learning community and to share and discuss emergent ideas in the transport engineering process and your understandings of transport engineering professional practice. Each assessment submission will be graded against criteria and standards that will be shared with you at the beginning of semester through Assessment Task Descriptions and Marking Rubrics. Marked assessment will include feedback given by the markers against the criteria.
Assessment
Unit Grading Scheme
7- point scale
Assessment Tasks
Assessment: Engineering Econometric modelling
You will be given a series of engineering problems that can be solved using econometric modelling. You will need to select appropriate tools and libraries to solve the problems and present your solutions.
Assessment: Travel Behaviour Analysis
You will be presented with an eingeering case study, requiring modelling of travel behaviour. You will use econometric modelling to create a solution to the case study, using appropriate tools and techniques.
Assessment: Engineering presentation
You will be required to formally and professionally present your solution to the engineering problem to the teaching team. Your presentation should include the proposed solution, scope assumptions, limitation and future work. It should demonstrate your understanding to the problem.
Academic Integrity
Students are expected to engage in learning and assessment at QUT with honesty, transparency and fairness. Maintaining academic integrity means upholding these principles and demonstrating valuable professional capabilities based on ethical foundations.
Failure to maintain academic integrity can take many forms. It includes cheating in examinations, plagiarism, self-plagiarism, collusion, and submitting an assessment item completed by another person (e.g. contract cheating). It can also include providing your assessment to another entity, such as to a person or website.
You are encouraged to make use of QUT’s learning support services, resources and tools to assure the academic integrity of your assessment. This includes the use of text matching software that may be available to assist with self-assessing your academic integrity as part of the assessment submission process.
Further details of QUT’s approach to academic integrity are outlined in the Academic integrity policy and the Student Code of Conduct. Breaching QUT’s Academic integrity policy is regarded as student misconduct and can lead to the imposition of penalties ranging from a grade reduction to exclusion from QUT.
Resources
A unit Canvas site will provide a clearinghouse for electronic resources as well as documentation on unit housekeeping.
