XIMP0005: Transport Engineering and Operations (T3) (2022-2023)

Aims:To introduce description, analysis and modelling of elements that are relevant to transport engineering and operations. This includes basic mechanics of transport operations and implications for safety; flow of traffic on open track; queuing at points of conflict or interruption; basic operational and engineering requirements for railways; intelligent transport systems (ITS); roundabouts and priority junctions; traffic signal control; alignment and layout of highway links and free-flow junctions; public passenger transport infrastructure; road safety engineering; and transport system management including use of street space by different kinds of users for different purposes. Syllabus:- This course provides students with an introduction to the subject of traffic and transport engineering with consideration of aspects including mobility, safety, energy, and environment. - Lectures are supported by extensive sets of notes provided by the lecturers and containing examples for students to practise new concepts. - During tutorials, students are encouraged to apply the material delivered in the lectures to the solution of a wide range of problems.
