麻省理工學院「開放式課程網頁」 | 土木與環境工程 | 1.221J 2002秋季課程：運輸系統

此課程包括可透過網路取得的一份以教授的著作《運輸系統導論》為基礎擴充的、超過五百張授課投影片的PDF檔案。這些投影片是特別設計來幫助作者之外的授課者教學之用。

透過將運輸視為一個複雜的、大規模的、整合的、開放的系統 (CLIOS)，本課程努力成為一項具「開放」概念而綜合多元系統的學門。本課程將引介塑造複雜運輸事業體的質性模型概念和各種不同的技術和理論。同時也將引介質性分析的概念性架構，例如區域性策略規劃、制度變革的分析，以及新技術的發展和配置等等之架構。

This course includes online access to an expanded set of more than 500 lecture slides in PDF format, based on the instructor's book Introduction to Transportation Systems. These slides are designed specifically to facilitate teaching by instructors other than the author.

Approaching transportation as a complex, large-scale, integrated, open system (CLIOS), this course strives to be an interdisciplinary systems subject in the "open" sense. It introduces qualitative modeling ideas and various techniques and philosophies of modeling complex transportation enterprises. It also introduces conceptual frameworks for qualitative analysis, such as frameworks for regional strategic planning, institutional change analysis, and new technology development and deployment.

本課程將運輸視為在社會、政治、經濟各方面，與當代社會互相影響的一個大規模的整合系統。構成旅客和貨物運輸系統的基本要素與課題。主導運輸系統規劃、投資、營運和維護的基本原則。系統的運作成效、服務水準的評量，和運輸需求的決定要素。各種不同的運輸模式和多模式聯運的服務與設施之設計。
