Highway Engineering (CIVL 482)

Principles of geometric design of highways, intersections, interchanges, and terminals. Practical issues of vertical and horizontal curvature, highway evaluation, driver and vehicle dynamics, and traffic safety are also addressed. Computer-aided design and modeling. View course on website

Highway Safety Data Analysis (CIVE 963)

Highway safety issues and appropriate accident data analyses. Quantify changes in safety when modifications are made to highways in an effort to enhance safety. Judge reported safety improvements and carry out appropriate analyses for assessing the effectiveness of safety improvements. View course on website

Transportation Safety Engineering (CIVE 867)

Safety criteria in the planning, design, and operation phases of highway, rail, airport, mass transit, pipeline, and waterway transportation systems. Background of safety legislation and funding requirements. Identification of high accident locations and methods to determine cost/effectiveness of improvements View course on website

Transportation Engineering CIV ENGR 370

The primary objective of this course is to introduce students to transportation engineering principles for streets and highways with emphasis on the safe and efficient operation of roadway intersections.

Traffic Engineering CIV ENG 5513

Driver, vehicle, and roadway characteristics; traffic control devices; traffic studies; intersection capacity, intersection design, traffic safety, and evaluation of traffic improvements. Traffic laws and ordinances, traffic engineering, traffic circulation, parking design, and forecasting traffic impacts.

Transportation Engineering CIV ENG 3500

A study of operating characteristics of transportation modes including highways, railways, inland waterways, airways, and pipelines. Consideration of traffic control devices, safety, system capacity, design of routes, planning of urban transportation systems, and economic evaluation of transportation alternatives.

Highway Engineering CIV E 482

Highway design, facility sizing, geometric design, drainage, earthwork, pavement design, traffic control devices, safety and environmental considerations.

Advanced Traffic Operations Analysis and Design (CEEN 6610)

Traffic stream characteristics-volume, flow rate, speed, density. Facility characteristics-level of service, capacity. Uninterrupted flow facility operations analysis: basic freeway segments, freeway weaving areas, merge and diverge areas, two-lane highways. Interrupted flow facility operations analysis: two-way and all-way stop controlled intersections; roundabouts. Non-highway facility operations analysis: pedestrian paths, bicycle paths and transit routes. Safety performance of highway facilities. Use of the Highway Capacity Manual and the Highway Capacity Software. Existing facility conditions, design upgrades. View course on website
