CE4315 — Design of Traffic Systems
This course aims to provide an in-dept knowledge of design principles and methodologies for traffic control systems to optimize operational efficiency and safety of traffic flows. The theories of traffic flow modeling, simulation and control will be introduced as the basis for designing traffic systems. The process to analyze traffic systems performance will be studied with computer-based tools. The design methodologies for traffic control systems for arterials and freeways will be discussed and applied to real roadways in a simulated environment. A process to assess the effectiveness of design strategies on different types of highways will be studies and applied to sample corridors. prereq: CE 3316, no grad credit
