An Interactive 5-Day Training Course
Megaproject Management in Traffic Engineering
Avoiding Clogging in the Pulse of Mobility
Course Overview
This GLOMACS Megaproject Management in Traffic Engineering training course will present the next step in solving challenges in megaprojects related to traffic and transportation planning and management of the mobility within the urban areas as well as between the urban areas.
This will emphasize the unprecedented planning and engineering involved in megaprojects related to the traffic engineering, as they most often if not always encounter delays, cost overruns and even from time to time different technical failures, therefore underscoring the requirements for adequate planning, risk management and improvement through design in the traffic and transportation projects, as they are quite often dependent on the traffic flows and the behavior of the people that use the network.
This GLOMACS training course will highlight:
- The stakeholders in megaprojects related to traffic and transport
- Defining characteristics of megaprojects
- Mega-risks associated with megaprojects
- Time and money management in megaprojects
- Improvement while under construction
- Technical complexities of megaprojects related to traffic
- Overdesign or under-design issues in megaprojects
- Complex Dynamics of Traffic Management
