Intelligent Transportation Systems CEE 552
Fundamentals of planning, design, deployment and operations of ITS. Integrated application of ITS architecture, traffic flow principles, advanced equipment, communications technologies and management strategies to provide traveler information and increase the safety and efficiency of the surface transportation system.Transportation System Safety (CVEN 5662)
Safety aspects of highway, railroad, and airway transportation systems. Accident analysis, accident prevention, economic consequences of accidents. View course on website
Transportation Engineering Statistics (CVEN 5611)
Covers statistical analysis methods for engineering studies in general, and for highway accident and traffic flow data in particular. Topics include data needs, sampling designs, survey methods, hypothesis testing, tests of proportions, non-parametric tests, analysis of variance, multivariate regression, and other tests of fit. Introductory overview of state and federal accident databases. Comparisons of accident rates by highway type, vehicle speeds, vehicle types, weather conditions and other factors also presented.

Traffic Impact Assessment CVEN 5612
Covers (1) procedures to satisfy state and local requirements for transportation impact studies, (2) methods to perform trip generation, distribution, and traffic assignment for impact analyses, and (3) analysis of transportation impacts on residential communities, mode choice, regional business (downtown or suburban), peak and off-peak travel times, noise, safety, parking and pedestrians. A course project requires students to develop an application of analysis software to a case study area.Highway Engineering and Traffic Safety (CVE6024)
This course is to provide an overview of highway engineering from programming through design to construction, as well as safety factors controlling the highway infrastructure design. Discussions include design characteristics and standards, surveying and mapping, geometric design, earthwork, drainage, legal and environmental considerations. Analysis of both macroscale and microscale safety factors will be covered. A term project will be done by students with either independent work or team work aiming a local safety problem that has been identified by Ohio Department of Transportation or local public works.
