Understand the nature of traffic flow including traffic congestion, traffic accident risk, and influence on general social activities including economy. Traffic engineering measures to alleviate negative impacts to the society should be systematically understood, including highway & street geometric design, traffic flow management and control, and utilization of emerging technologies including Intelligent Transport Systems.
In this course, first, traffic flow fundamentals and queing theory will be provided following the General introduction. Highway capacity & road geometric design and safety, intersection design & control, and Intelligent Transport Systems and its applications are the contents to be studied in this course.
