Transportation Engineering: Traffic Flow Theory
Course Objectives
By the end of this course, you will be able to:
- Define the parameters used to characterize traffic streams in the design of safe transportation facilities.
- Describe traffic stream models and how they are used to analyze traffic flows for the benefit of the public.
- Using principles of probability, describe traffic flow patterns in the design of safe and efficient transportation facilities.
- Recognize the statistical tests used to analyze traffic flow data.
- Describe how the scientific analysis of queues is used to predict and characterize traffic flows and other traffic operations scenarios for the safety and welfare of transportation users.
