Course Goal / Objective
In this course, a project will be conducted within the scope of traffic studies and transportation planning topics. The purpose of this course is to introduce the fundamental concepts of traffic engineering, teach the basic classifications of roadways, and provide students with knowledge of various traffic study methods. The course aims to help students understand the analysis and measurement techniques used to improve the efficiency and safety of transportation systems.
Course Content
Understanding the fundamental concepts of traffic engineering, Knowing the basic classifications of roads, Learning and applying key traffic studies such as origin-destination surveys, accident studies, pedestrian studies, and parking studies.
