Catalog description

This course covers the fundamentals of traffic engineering. The characteristics of traffic streams, and how they are quantitatively described are covered. Various types of traffic studies are covered including travel time, speed, delay, and safety studies. Determining the signal timing, capacity and level of service (LOS) of a signalized intersection is discussed and the Highway Capacity Software (HCS) is used to calculate intersection capacity and LOS. | Prerequisite: One CE-UY 23x3 course.
