This is a foundational course in traffic engineering that introduces students to the fundamental theories and principles governing traffic flow and management.The course covers the fundamental relationships between speed, flow, and density, and their application statistically in evaluating road performance. Students will also explore methods for conducting traffic studies, the design and operation of traffic signal control systems, and the fundamentals of highway geometric design.
The course is delivered through lectures and practical problem-solving sessions with an emphasis on analytical thinking and application of theory to real-world traffic scenarios. By the end of the course, students will be able to analyze traffic flow characteristics, design basic traffic control systems, and evaluate roadway performance to support effective traffic management.
