Associate Professor Required Textbooks: Traffic Engineering (Third Edition) by Roger P. Roess, Elena S. Prassas, and Willian R. McShane, copyright 2004, Prentice-Hall, Inc. Course Prerequisites/Co requisites: EGR 225 (or CENE 225), EGR 286 with a grade greater than or equal to C, Co requisite: 300- or 400-level CENE course. Required or Elective: This course is required for civil engineering students and is a technical elective for environmental engineering students. Catalogue Description: Basic concepts including driver-roadway-vehicle system characteristics, traffic studies, capacity analysis, and traffic-control devices. Lab introduces traffic-engineering studies and signal-system operations, including computer applications. 2 hrs. lecture, 3 hrs. lab. ABET Target Outcomes: ABET Criterion 3 Outcomes Criterion 3 Outcomes b, e, f, h, and k Basic Curriculum Category: Engineering topics with significant design. Course Objectives: Upon completion of this class, students will be able to: A. Master a working knowledge of basic traffic engineering concepts, studies, solutions, and devices. Covered: Topics Students will master a working knowledge of basic traffic engineering concepts, studies, solutions, and devices. They will know about the basic theory of traffic, including the driver-roadway-vehicle system characteristics, capacity analysis, and introductory traffic flow theory. Through the lab, they will conduct several traffic studies typically used in traffic engineering to quantify traffic characteristics and support decisions requiring engineering judgment. Students will learn the fundamentals of traffic signal timing and design, including use of detection for actuated control. Emphasis is placed on understanding the theoretical and practical aspects of traffic control devices with special focus on understanding and programming traffic signal controllers. Students are introduced to signal timing/coordination and traffic simulation software Course Evaluation Methods: 25% 30% 10% 20% 5% 10% 100% The reported final course grade will be determined by comparing the final course total score obtained at the end of the semester to the following grading scale: A = 90 - 100%, B = 80 89.9%, C =70 79.9%, D= 60 69.9%, F =< 59.9% CENE 420 Undergraduate Students Average of Laboratories Average of Homeworks Average of Quizzes Average of Tests Professional Development(1) Final Exam(2) Class Schedule:
