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
