Traffic Flow and Network Modeling
Description
Traffic flow and network modeling are two major approaches in the field of transportation engineering, and can be applied in the research studies of traffic operation, traffic safety and transportation planning. This course will develop students' knowledge and ability to analyze dynamic traffic flow and traffic network management in an urban transportation network.This course will address and answer the questions of what the characteristics of traffic flow in an urban transportation network are, how traffic flow patterns can be determined over a long time horizon, and how traffic flow can be forecasted and managed in a short time horizon. The static analysis aims to provide traffic predictions for long-term planning purposes, and the dynamic analysis is used to generate short-term predictions and optimization strategies for advanced traffic management and information systems. This course will provide a comprehensive education in the fundamentals of traffic flow and network modeling, and provide experiences to develop professionalism in advanced transportation demand and supply analysis.
