Subject Synopsis: This subject covers traffic engineering and transport systems. The traffic
engineering covers the analytical procedures and computational methods employed in a wide
variety of tasks related to traffic operations and safety. This course identifies operational
problems to carry out traffic engineering studies and evaluate alternative solutions. The focus
on transport systems is data collection, demand forecasting, impact assessment, freight
transport, externalities and energy. The subject reviews public transport, airport planning,
seaport operations. The course introduces the concepts of characterizing traffic, various
modelling approaches, and design of facilities to control and manage traffic.

Evaluation: Design project, assignment, test, audio visual presentation and final examination
