Content
Traffic and transportation engineering professionals work to solve complex and stochastic issues (safety, ubiquity, mobility, accessibility, economy and sustainability) and problems (crashes, delays, lack of sufficient funding and pollution) facing major cities and nations due to significant increase in motorised and non-motorised travel modes of transport. To equip students with a valuable knowledge in an understanding of traffic and transport engineering systems, this unit covers the overview of traffic and transport systems, major components of road traffic systems, transport modes, transport economics, urban transport planning, traffic flow theory and characteristics, analysis and design of roadway intersections, traffic studies, road safety, non-motorised and public transport systems, and Local area traffic management. Advanced knowledge and skills achieved in this unit are essential for traffic and transportation engineering professionals for highly skilled works and/or further learning. Students work on problems and projects so that they are experienced to the real world of traffic and transport engineers.
Hurdle requirement
To be eligible to obtain a pass in this unit students must achieve a minimum of 40% in the Problem Solving and Scenario Exercise.
