CE5315 — Design of Traffic Systems
This course provides an in-depth 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 are introduced as the basis for designing traffic systems. The process to analyze traffic systems performance is applied with computer-based tools. The design methodologies for traffic control systems for arterials and freeways are discussed and applied to real roadways in a simulated environment. A process to assess the effectiveness of design strategies on different types of highways is evaluated and applied to sample corridors. prereq: CE 3316 or grad student
