Upon completion of this module you will be able to

LO1: Understand and critically appraise traffic flow principles, data collection techniques and road network operations.

LO2: Identify, examine and critically assess the major design elements and principles of road layouts, including the geometric alignment considerations based on national and international standards and guidelines.

LO3: Design road intersections such as priority junctions and roundabouts and analyse road traffic capacity, queues and delays.

LO4: Design traffic signal layouts and calculate traffic signal timings for both isolated and linked networks.

LO5: Recommend intelligent transportation and urban traffic control systems that can provide benefits for road network operations.
