This course reviews and extends the fundamental concepts and principles of good traffic engineering design (as taught at undergraduate level) and applies them to a variety of typical (mainly urban) situations. The course is expected to develop student skills to the level where the student understands the theory behind many aspects of traffic behaviour, and can reasonably identify, diagnose and treat typical traffic engineering problems.
This postgraduate course will introduce you to: Basic concepts and principles of transport network modelling Analysis of transport network (i.e. route choices) Transport network modelling packages SATURN (www.saturnsoftware2.co.uk)No prior practical experience in transport modelling is assumed, although some previous exposure to the theoretical elements of traffic engineering or transport planning is useful. The engineering undergraduate course ENCN412 (Traffic Planning) or equivalent (e.g. ENTR401) is considered a useful pre-requisite.
This course is expected to develop student skills to the level where the student:- understands how to analyse aspects of transport networks/links/nodes- Provide participants with a solid grounding in the optimisation and linear programming in analysingtransport network problems, with particular focus on the formulation of network user equilibrium andsystem optimal problems.- Students will learn some advanced skills in using a traffic assignment package SATURN and howsignal timings are used to reroute people in a network.- Case studies will be examined to illustrate the application of SATURN in urban networks, methods foranalysing and using it.
