Traffic Systems Design includes: Transport network design conceptualization and simulation, applying traffic flow theory for motorway traffic design, intersection design, signal plans design, safety in traffic engineering, traffic evaluation using simulation tools, transport planning, simple control design for traffic management, traffic flow analysis.
This course focuses on the principles and methodologies involved in the design of complex traffic systems, emphasizing the creation and optimization of safe and efficient transportation facilities. Students will learn to apply traffic engineering concepts to real-world scenarios for intersection signal traffic design, traffic control, traffic management and transportation planning. The course will include practical projects, case studies, and use of simulation software to develop comprehensive traffic engineering solutions.
Identify, develop, and evaluate potential traffic engineering solutions to complex design problems, with appropriate consideration for at least some of; engineering standards, guidelines and tools, design feasibility, public health and safety, risk, whole-life cost, net-zero carbon, resources, and environmental considerations. (UC EIE1, EEI2, EEI3), (WA1, WA3, WA4, WA5, WA8)Apply optimization techniques to explain route choice behaviour in transport networks. (UC EEI3, EEI4, GA2), (WA1, WA2, WA7)Apply basic techniques for traffic data collection, evaluating traffic condition, diagnosing problem EIE2, EIE3, EIE4 (WA1, WA4)Implement traffic assignment simulation software for transport planning (UC EIE3, EIE4) (WA4, WA5)Communicate traffic design solutions through at least some of; simulation, calculations, design reports, and oral presentations.

The final exam will be comprehensive and will cover all the lectures except the contents taught in the lab sessions. The lab session contents will be evaluated in the three design projects during the semester. The students should work in a group of two and deliver a comprehensive design report. Special Considerations Any student who has been impaired by significant exceptional and/or unforeseeable circumstances that have prevented them from completing any major assessment items, or that have impaired their performance such that the results are not representative of their true level of mastery of the course material, may apply for special consideration through the formal university process. The applicability and academic remedy/action associated with the special consideration process is listed for each assessment item below. Please refer to the University Special Consideration Regulations and Special Consideration Policies and Procedures documents for more information on the acceptable grounds for special consideration and the application process. Special Consideration for AssignmentsAn extension will be granted for evidence-supported requests. Extensions will typically be for up to one week, but the duration will be considered on a case-by-case basis. Students seeking an extension must contact the course coordinator as soon as possible with evidence of their situation, and preferably before the due date.Special Consideration for Final ExamSerious/Severe Impact: Students will be offered an equivalent alternative exam that will replace their original exam mark. This exam will be held in the week immediately following the exam period.Moderate Impact: A derived mark based on performance relative to the class on all assessment items will apply. Note: All communication associated with the arrangement of equivalent alternative exams will be conducted using official UC email accounts. The offer to sit an alternative assessment will come with a list of potential dates/times. Students will have a clearly specified amount of time to respond to the offer to sit the alternative assessment and accept one of the listed dates/times. If the offer is declined or no response is received in the specified time frame, the original assessment mark will be used to compute the course grade.
