Summary
This course (module) introduces students to:
(1) The fundamentals of traffic flow theory
(2) Some elements of traffic data collection
(3) Traffic signal control
(4) Transport modelling to determine traffic flow distribution
For students requiring reassessment, this will be limited to the components which have been failed and these will be in the same form as the original assessment.
Target Students
Part II BEng/MEng students, Part III MEng students and MSc students in the Department of Civil Engineering.
Assessment
- 100% Exam 1 (2-hour): Exam
Assessed by end of autumn semester
Educational Aims
To introduce some of the theory that forms the technical basis of the management and control of urban road networks.Learning Outcomes
On successful completion of this course (module), students will be able to:
1. Understand and apply mathematical and statistical principles related to the fundamentals of traffic flow theory, signal control and transport planning.
2. Formulate and analyse complex problems related to the operation of traffic signal control systems.
3. Select and apply appropriate analytical techniques for the analysis of transport planning problems.
This will contribute to the following programme learning outcomes (see Programme (Plan) Specifications for details):
- Knowledge and Understanding: M1, M2
- Intellectual Skills: M3
