Transportation Systems Safety and Security CRIM 5660

This course will look at safety, security and emergency management with regard to transportation operations; multi-modal transportation security threats, vulnerabilities, risk and strategies to mitigate and incident; and the security of supply chains and critical infrastructure. The course will use case studies to provide the student with the knowledge, skills, and abilities to effectively safeguard the movement of assets within interconnected transportation networks.

Advanced Concepts in Traffic Safety (CE-ENGIN 614)

This course covers advanced topics in traffic safety including both motorized and nonmotorized modes with an emphasis on the science of safety. The course is divided into modules. Specific components include safety management systems, human factors, data needs and limitations, identification of hazardous locations, diagnosis of problems, development of countermeasures, road safety audits/reviews, and crash reconstruction. As applicable safety modeling using the Interactive Highway Safety Design Modules and other modeling platforms will be incorporated. Several traffic engineering software packages will also be used to demonstrate relationships between traffic safety and operational efficiency. View course on website
