“The Traffic Engineer” 

Duration of Course: 1 PDH’s (55 – 60 MIN.)

Course Description of Content to be Covered:

Typical traffic engineering projects involve designing traffic control device installations and modifications, including traffic signals, signs, and pavement markings. However, traffic engineers also consider traffic safety by investigating locations with high crash rates and developing countermeasures to reduce crashes. Traffic flow management can be short-term (preparing construction traffic control plans, including detour plans for pedestrian and vehicular traffic) or long-term (estimating the impacts of proposed commercial developments on traffic patterns). Increasingly, traffic problems are being addressed by developing systems for intelligent transportation systems, often in conjunction with other engineering disciplines, such as computer engineering and electrical engineering.

This webinar will address – Traffic Engineering which is branch of civil engineering that uses engineering techniques to achieve the safe and efficient movement of people and goods on roadways. It focuses mainly on research for safe and efficient traffic flow, such as road geometry, sidewalks and crosswalks, segregated cycle facilities, shared lane marking, traffic signs, road surface markings and traffic lights. Traffics engineering deals with the functional part of transportation system, except the infrastructure provided.

The course learning objective which are measurable and the learner will obtain knowledge and expect to gain valuable insight upon successful completion as follows:

·         Be able to understand how traffic engineering works

·         Identify forms of traffic engineering devices

·         Be familiar with technical design issues faced by professional engineers

·         Understand the difference between engineering signals and effective noise elements

·         Be able to apply the principals and practices of traffic engineering.
