II. Course Objectives
The course aims:
1) To give students an understanding of transportation systems and its characteristics.
2) To give students an understanding of the components of transportation systems.
3) To develop students’ understanding of vehicle motion, flow, and performance.
4) To ensure that the students know continues flow, terminals, and transportation demand.
5) To provide students with the necessary knowledge for traffic engineering studies and Traffic
safety
6) To enhance the students’ capabilities in determining the capacity of urban streets and intersections.
III.Course Learning Outcomes
Students who successfully complete the course will demonstrate to have the following
outcomes:
1) Understanding of the transportation systems and its characteristics.
2) Understanding of the transportation and society.
3) Understanding of the components of transportation systems.
4) Understanding of the vehicle motion, flow, performance, continues flow, terminals, transportation
demand and traffic system.
5) Understanding of the the traffic stream characteristics and understand traffic engineering studies
traffic stream characteristics and understand traffic engineering studies.
6) Understanding of the traffic safety
