Transportation Engineering: Highway Planning and Design
Description
Planning and design of highway transportation systems, including development, planning process, data collection, procedures for future developments, evaluation of transportation plans, and design of highway transportation facilities. Students work in teams on a design project. Prerequisite: CIV E 411. Note: Restricted to fourth-year traditional and fifth-year co-op engineering students.Learning Outcomes
Explore a set of different real-world transportation engineering problems related to transportation planning, road geometric design, traffic impact assessment, and road safety analysis.Analyze a select transportation engineering problem of your choice and explore a list of possible problems by conducting a thorough literature review on the topic of your choice.
Apply appropriate data mining and modeling techniques learned in previous transportation engineering courses (e.g., multiple linear regression) to establish a solution mechanism that can be applied to solve real-world problems.
Evaluate the worth of possible solutions by conducting a life cycle cost-benefit analysis.
Write a formal technical report that is technically accurate and easy to read and comprehend.
