Course description
This course introduces students to the field of transportation engineering and provides the fundamental knowledge required for the planning, design, and operation of transport systems to improve the mobility, safety, and reliability of road networks. Students will learn key principles and methodologies essential for understanding traffic flow theory, traffic modelling, traffic signal control, and travel demand forecasting. Through a combination of theoretical instruction and practical computer exercises, students will develop the skills necessary to analyse, visualise, and interpret traffic data, design and manage intersections, and predict travel demand.
