Course objectives

This course will develop students' knowledge of and ability to analyze dynamic traffic flow forecasting and management in an urban transportation network.

Topics covered

This course will address and answer the questions how traffic flow pattern in a urban transportation network can be determined in a long time horizon and how traffic flow could be forecasted and managed in a short time horizon. The static analysis is aimed to provide traffic predictions for long term planning purposes and the dynamic analysis is used to generate short term predictions and optimization strategies for advanced traffic management and information systems.

Class/laboratory schedule

Lecture - two 75 minute periods
