1. Concepts and Properties of Traffic Systems: Fundamental concepts and characteristics of traffic systems.
2. Traffic Characteristics and Data Collection Methods: Traffic characteristics and methods for the collection and measurement of traffic data.
3. Field Traffic Surveys and Measurements: Fundamental Relationships Among Traffic Variables
4. Basic relationships between the primary traffic flow variables.:Traffic Capacity and Level of Service (LOS), Traffic Signal Control and Traffic Management

Learning Outcomes

The aim of the course is to introduce fundamental concepts, techniques, and tools of Traffic Flow Theory.

Upon successful completion of the course, the student will be able to:

• Describe the basic characteristics of traffic flow and the factors that influence them.
• Explain the nature of traffic phenomena, their causes, and their impacts.
• Describe traffic conditions using both quantitative and qualitative approaches.
• Analyze traffic data using statistical and mathematical models.
• Apply modeling and simulation methods to assess the performance of road networks.
• Evaluate traffic safety and design interventions to optimize traffic flow.
• Assess the performance of road networks and the impacts of improvement measures.
