COURSE DESCRIPTION:
Traffic Engineering deals with one critical element of the
transportation system: streets and highways, and their use by
vehicles. This course focuses on the key engineering skills required
to practice traffic engineering in a modern setting. Therefore, this
course encompasses signs, markings, signals, work-zone traffic
control, traffic control for school areas, traffic control systems for
railroad-highway grade crossing, traffic control for bicycle
facilities, etc.

METHODOLOGY:
The course will be delivered through a combination of lectures,
handouts for additional information, homework problems, and a
class project.
COURSE OBJECTIVES:
The goal of this course is to provide the student examine ways in
which traffic engineers promote operational efficiency and safety
through the use of traffic control device.

Topics Covered
Characteristics of the Driver, the Pedestrian, the Vehicle, and the
Road
Traffic Engineering Studies
Highway Safety
Fundamental Principles of Traffic Flow
Intersection Design
Intersection Control
Capacity and Level of Service for Highway Segments
Capacity and Level of Service at Signalized Intersections
Examinations:
Four examinations will be administered; two
examinations plus a mid-term exam and a final exam.
Materials for each examination will come from class
lectures, handouts, home works and what will be
discussed in class.

Exam Dates:
First Exam: May 16, 2019
Midterm: Base on University Schedule
Third Exam: July 4, 2019
Final Exam: Base on University Schedule

asked from homework assignment given and you are
expected to answer.
Grading:
Each student final grade will be based on the following
averages:
Homework / assignments;
Average of their two examinations
Mid-Term Exam Grade;
Final Exam Grade;

Your grade will be determined by summing the following

scores:
Average of two (2) Exams 30%
Mid-term Exam 25%
Final Exam 35%
Homework/Assignment 10%
Grading Scale:
100 - 90 A
89 - 80 B
79 - 70 C
69 - 60 D
Below 60 F
Policy on Incomplete Grades:
