The course is carried out as an individual independent project. A problem of current interest in transport and location analysis is formulated and analysed. The student usually suggests the problem. The project typically starts with a minor literature review. A project plan is formulated, which can include the following steps: choice of method, collection of empirical data and other relevant information, performing of interviews, problem analysis, proposal of solution and conclusions. A report of good quality is written that describes the method applied and in which the results are analysed and discussed. The report is presented at a seminar.
