This course focuses on systems engineering & Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) fundamentals and design of regional ITS fundamentals. The course will introduce selected tools required to plan, design, implement and evaluate ITS projects. Students will work on projects that require data collection, simulation and analysis using various tools. The course is designed to investigate multidisciplinary aspects of ITS design and plan solutions for current and future transportation system.

This course serves as an introductory course in the fundamentals and concepts of transportation safety for Civil Engineering students. The course introduces technologies and techniques used by transportation engineers to evaluate highway safety and develop effective safety countermeasures/strategies. Upon the completion of this course, students will: Understand concepts, procedures, and methods associated with the transportation safety system, understand basic knowledge of human factors and the fundamentals of highway safety, apply the roadway safety management process at a small roadway network, use predictive methods to estimate the number of crashes for different facility types, improve writing and presentation skills.

Introduces latest technologies and techniques used by transportation planners and engineers to study current travel characteristics and estimate future travel demand and supply. This course focuses on urban travel characteristics and activity analysis, travel demand and supply analysis, transportation system and project evaluation, and program and project implementation strategies. The course will (1) introduce concepts, procedures and methods associated with transportation planning; (2) provide basic knowledge of travel demand forecasting models; and (3) provide basic knowledge of relevant travel demand modeling software. The proposed course is designed for both undergraduate and graduate students who want to develop their career in transportation engineering and planning. Students in this class will deliver research papers/reports beyond those expected for students in CEE 08466, Introduction to Urban Transportation Planning.

The fundamental theme of the course is the study of advanced topics in transportation engineering including advanced highway engineering and advanced mass transit systems. These advanced topics include the impact and interaction of sociological, economic, geographic and environmental factors on transportation systems. The course includes appropriate field measurements and computer applications.

This course introduces students to the general field of transportation planning including travel demand analysis and data collection methods. Statistical data collection and analysis methods are discussed. Examples using the traditional four-step planning process illustrate common planning procedures. Computer applications are included.

The fundamental theme of this course is the study of data science applications in the field of civil engineering. These include understanding of the types and sources of data, civil engineering instrumentation, testing methods, and data management.
