It covers various practical analytical topics in transportation and logistics, including model estimation, data analysis, traffic forecasting, and incident prediction. A broad range of transportation related techniques are covered in statistics, data mining and optimization skills, such as Logistic Regression, Poisson Regression, Time Series Modeling, Survival Analysis, Classification, and Clustering. Popular statistical modeling software will be used to solve various practical problems. COURSE OBJECTIVE By the end of this course, students should be able to: Understand different types of transportation data. Build their own database systems to collect, fuse and analyze transportation data Apply proper analytical tools and models to solve practical transportation problems PREREQUISITES Introductory statistics courses (IE 306 Statistics for Engineers, or CIE 308 Engineering Statistics or equivalent) REQUIRED TEXTBOOK Course notes will be distributed in class or on the web.

COURSE GRADING 25% Homework Assignments (5 assignments, once every other week) 40% Exams (2 mid-term, 20% each, no final exam) 35% Project (based on your own research problems, or discuss with instructor. Every project needs to be approved by instructor in advance) To qualify for a particular letter grade, the minimum course average shown after that grade will be needed: A (90); A- (86); B+ (82); B (78); B- (74); C+ (70); C (66); C- (62); D+ (58); D (54); and F (less than 54). If overall class performance is very low, I may lower the grade cutoffs to increase class average up to point 3.0(B). However, I will not raise the cutoffs. POLICY Homework assignments must be done independently. Term project can be done in a team with no more than 3 students. Team members will receive the same grade. Homework will be fully accepted late only if prior approval is given by the instructor. Otherwise late homework will be downgraded by 25% per day. The UB Academic Integrity Policies will be followed.
