Transport Analytics - Specialization
Transport Analytics
The tools used by an engineer in Business Analytics, are often grouped in:
- Descriptive Analytics, which can answer the question “What has happened?”
- Predictive Analytics, that focus more on finding out “What will happen?”
- Prescriptive Analytics, where actions are taken and thus answers the question “What should we do?”
The MSc in Business Analytics builds upon this concept and offers three optional specializations, each allowing you to become a specialist in certain areas:
- Predictive Analytics
- Prescriptive Analytics
- Transport Analytics
Transport Analytics is a specialization where you will have a chance to learn how to apply data-driven decision and prediction models in transport
Aside from the mandatory courses from the general competencies, the specialization in Transport Analytics requires you to select core competence courses in the following matter.
