Traffic Network Modelling and Optimization
Description
This course reviews and extends the fundamental concepts and principles of good traffic engineering design (as taught at undergraduate level) and applies them to a variety of typical (mainly urban) situations. The course is expected to develop student skills to the level where the student understands the theory behind many aspects of traffic behaviour, and can reasonably identify, diagnose and treat typical traffic engineering problems.
