1. Name of Course: TRAFFIC ENGINEERING AND SAFETY
Course Code: BFC32302
2. Synopsis: Traffic Engineering is a branch of civil engineering dealing with the
design, operation and management of transportation facilities.
Traffic operations and management are vital in traffic engineering,
so that users move smoothly and efficiently on the facilities. Hence,
this course will provide essential engineering knowledge in traffic
engineering, which covers the fundamentals required for
practitioners at the entry level to the industry. This course
introduces students to applications of traffic engineering as part of
civil engineering design and construction to accommodate future
traffic demand. The scope of study includes the importance of
traffic engineering, traffic flow elements, highway capacity analysis,
traffic management and control, traffic safety, road safety audit and
intersection design.
