Global Certificate in Efficient Traffic Engineering Systems

• Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS): An overview of ITS, including its components, benefits, and applications in traffic engineering.
• Traffic Flow Theory: Fundamentals of traffic flow, including demand, capacity, and level of service. This unit will cover key concepts such as density, speed, and volume relationships, as well as traffic stream characteristics.
• Traffic Simulation and Modeling: An introduction to traffic simulation and modeling techniques, including microscopic, mesoscopic, and macroscopic approaches. This unit will cover the use of simulation software for traffic analysis and prediction.
• Traffic Signal Timing and Coordination: Best practices for traffic signal timing and coordination, including cycle length, phase duration, and split optimization. This unit will also cover coordinated systems and adaptive signal control technologies.
• Freeway Management Systems: An overview of freeway management systems, including ramp metering, variable message signs, and incident detection and management. This unit will also cover active traffic management strategies such as lane control and speed harmonization.
• Urban Traffic Control: Strategies for managing urban traffic, including signal priority, transit signal priority, and traffic signal coordination. This unit will also cover pedestrian and bicycle traffic management.
• Transportation Systems Management and Operations (TSMO): An overview of TSMO, including its benefits and applications. This unit will cover key concepts such as integrated corridor management, real-time traveler information, and multimodal transportation system operations.
• Data Analysis and Visualization: Techniques for analyzing and visualizing traffic data, including data cleaning, statistical analysis, and data visualization tools. This unit will also cover performance measurement and management.
• Transportation Policy and Planning: An overview of transportation policy and planning, including transportation planning processes, funding sources, and environmental considerations. This unit will also cover the role of public involvement in transportation decision-making.
