Description This unit provides an essential set of skills for the management of the transport and logistics system for both the private and public sector and across all modes in the freight and passenger sectors. The unit provides an introduction to transport and logistics issues that benefit from an understanding of key economic ideas. This unit does not require a previous background in economics. The unit is divided into a number of modules: travel demand and choice; costing, performance and benchmarking, strategic assessment of transport distribution-related policy instruments; pricing and infrastructure and freight systems management. Examples and case studies are drawn from the freight and passenger sectors as well as all modes of transport. The specialised rigour will provide appropriate training for tackling other topics, in other units, in more detail beyond these three modules. The material is of especial relevance to majors in transport and logistics.
