Learning Outcomes

• Evaluate the quality and relevance of transport planning information from various sources.
• Analyse and interpret transport data to identify patterns, trends, and implications.
• Apply appropriate statistical and analytical techniques to transport planning data.
• Communicate transport planning information effectively to diverse audiences using reports, presentations, and visualisations.
• Design recommendations based on analysed transport information to support planning decisions.
• Demonstrate ethical and responsible use of data in transport planning contexts.

Course Outline

Practicals

Overview

Practical sessions allow learners to apply theoretical knowledge to real-world transport data using software tools (Excel, GIS) and conduct field data collection. These hands-on activities reinforce data analysis, spatial mapping, and communication skills essential for transport planning professionals.

Practical Activities

• Data Collection and Management Practical — Learners conduct a traffic count at a designated intersection, enter data into Excel, clean and validate the dataset, and create a data dictionary. (8h)
• GIS Mapping and Spatial Analysis Practical — Using QGIS, learners map traffic count data, perform spatial queries to identify high-accident zones, and produce thematic maps for a study area. (8h)
• Traffic Flow and Demand Analysis Practical — Learners analyse traffic count data to compute speed-flow-density relationships, estimate capacity, and apply a simple trip distribution model using Excel. (8h)
• Transport Impact Assessment Practical — Given a proposed development, learners estimate trip generation, assess site access, and prepare a mini-TIA report with recommendations. (6h)
• Data Communication and Presentation Practical — Learners create a dashboard in Excel or Power BI summarising key findings from the integrated project, and deliver a 10-minute presentation to peers. (6h)

Summatives

Each delegate is assessed continuously throughout the course via daily exercises, scored practical assignments, and a final summative test at the end.

Practical Assignments — 30%

Practical assignments are observed and scored against a rubric during the practical sessions. Each delegate's practical mark is averaged into a single 100% score and contributes 30% to the final total.

Daily Exercises — 20%

Every training day ends with a multiple-choice exercise scored out of 100%. The scores from each daily exercise are averaged across the duration of the course to produce a Daily Average mark, which contributes 20% to the final total.

Final Test — 50%

On the last day a final summative test is written. It is a multiple-choice paper with multiple-answer questions: each question may have more than one correct option, and a single wrong selection on a question marks the entire question wrong — no partial credit. The final test is scored out of 100% and contributes 50% to the overall mark.

Final Total

Component	Out of	Weight
Practical Assignments (rubric-scored)	100%	30%
Daily Average (multiple choice)	100%	20%
Final Test (multi-answer multiple choice)	100%	50%
Final Total	—	100%

All marks are recorded on the AATICD LMS and visible to each learner under their account.

Certificate

How it works

• Certificates are auto-generated on the AATICD LMS as soon as the marks pass the 50% threshold.
• Each certificate is a branded PDF with the delegate's name, the course title, the unit standard ID, NQF level, credits, and the date of issue.
• You can download or print your certificate from your LMS dashboard at any time after issue — there's no reissue fee and no expiry date.
• If you scored under 50% you can sit the final test again at the next scheduled session at no extra cost.

Where to find it

Sign in to the LMS, open your dashboard, and your certificates appear under My Certificates. Each entry has a View / Download button and a print option.
