Introduction to traffic engineering
Welcome to the third week of the course! This week, we explore the field of traffic engineering and the role of traffic engineers in designing, operating, and managing transport systems.
You’ll learn about their work in analysing traffic flow, designing safe infrastructure like intersections and roundabouts, and ensuring efficient public transit operations such as Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) systems.
In this unit, the video introduces the foundational concepts, such as the differences between traffic engineers and planners, the critical role of traffic engineers, and the techniques they use to measure and manage data.
Plus, don’t miss the optional 50-minute hands-on tutorial in Unit 9 on traffic simulation. Join us as we bridge data and transport engineering, building towards deeper understanding in the weeks to come.
