Important announcement

Dear visitor,

Please note that this OpenCourseWare platform will be replaced at the end of 2026 by a new platform (under the same url ocw.tudelft.nl).

Courses and their contents that are currently available the platform will partly be migrated. URL’s for this content will change and content might be unavailable for some time. In addition, some courses will not be available anymore.

If you are linking to specific courses on this platform (for instance for your students), please take timely measures to avoid problems with access. Possible actions are:

  • Download the materials to your local platform (laptop, server)
  • For educators only (including TU Delft lecturers): Contact us at ocw@tudelft.nl and inform us what course you are using in what context (institute, program, period of use, number of students). We will research (in collaboration with the authors of the course) and decide if we will migrate the course, and if yes, can supply you with a new url.

Thank you.

5.3.1 Introduction to network theory

Course subject(s) Module 5. Research in city logistics

This is our last segment in the course. In the previous segments of the week, we have been introduced to several research methods that can help us understand more about city logistics. In the next two videos, Professor Johan Joubert from the University of Pretoria, South Africa, will explain to us about network theory and its use in modelling urban freight. At the end of the segment, we will have a challenging assignment, so be sure to pay attention!

This video introduces us to the concept of networks and how they can be analysed.
