TH418 Transport Studies

This unit looks at management within the transport sector, particularly the carrier sector. It deals with the environmental (particularly regulatory) context in which carriers operate. It also deals with general principles of transportation and transport economics, strategic planning, marketing and service delivery issues, the employment of quantitative techniques in the carrier sector; and collaborative linkages between the carrier sector and other sectors of the tourism industry. Particular emphasis is placed on PNG examples and how technology has played a part in this. A trip to the upper highlands of Papua New Guinea enables students to make an assessment of the land transport system connecting the vast highlands region and Momase Region of Papua New Guinea.
