I am programme lead for the postgraduate MSc Transportation Planning and Engineering course, and am also involved in teaching several modules on this course and others, specifically:
CENV 3065 Railway Engineering and Operations
This module provides comprehensive coverage of the main features of railway engineering and operations, including topics ranging from system planning through to the impacts of noise and vibration. I am module lead and teach sessions on rail system planning, signalling systems, station and interchange design, light rail and high speed rail.
CENV 6001 Transport Planning: Practice
This module covers a range of practical techniques used by transport planners. I am module lead and teach sessions on transport planning measures, planning for pedestrians and cyclists, and transport users and user engagement.
CENV6016 Transport Economics
This module provides students with an understanding of economic theory as applied to transport, including demand, supply and pricing theory. It also considers economic appraisal and evaluation methods and their application in developing and developed countries, and the links between transport and the wider economy. I lead sessions on cost benefit analysis and appraisal.
CENV6152 Project Economics and Management.
This module provides a systematic understanding of how civil and environmental engineering topics work in financial, economic, social and environmental terms. I lead sessions on cost benefit analysis and related techniques.
CENV6153 Transport Modelling
This module provides students with knowledge and experience of a range of transport modelling techniques at different scales. I provide theoretical and practical teaching on the use of Geographical Information Systems (GIS) in a transport context.
CENV6168 Transport Management and Safety
This model explores issues around the management of transport systems from a range of perspectives. I lead a session on resilience engineering for transport systems.
CENV6169 Transport Planning: Policy and Governance
This module introduces students to a range of issues relating to transport planning, policy-making, and governance. I am module lead, and teach sessions on the background to transport planning, the development of transport systems, the geography of transport systems and networks, transport trends, transport policy around the world, and strategic transport planning.
CENV6170 Logistics Systems Operations
This module provides a comprehensive overview of the main features of logistic system operations. I lead a session on rail freight systems.
I am involved in supervising both undergraduate and postgraduate students on research projects relating to transport policy and planning, transport modelling, transport and land use, and rail transport. I have supervised over 65 students in the past, with example topics including:
- Accessibility and transport deprivation in Greater London
- Assessing the financial accessibility of the GB rail network
- Assessing the quality of Southampton's cycle network
- Counterfactual study of railway station closures
- Creating multi-attribute accessibility indices
- Evaluating the level of service provision on the Athens Metro
- Evaluating the potential for transit-oriented developments in Hampshire
- Factors influencing local bus usage in UK provincial cities
- Framework for transport scenario development in the UK
- Future transport scenarios for the UK
- Impacts of changing working patterns on travel patterns
- Impacts of transport investments on property prices
- Improving the street environment in various areas of Southampton
- Pathways to sustainable travel for young people with special educational needs
- Quantifying the impacts of underestimating motor vehicle emissions
- Tool design for personalised travel planning
- Using smartcard data to analyse public transport usage in London
I will also consider supervising postgraduate research students on topics which relate to my main research interests. Please contact me if you would like to discuss a potential project.
