The unit covers the road traffic system, traffic networks, traffic design elements, intersection design and control and advacned analytic techniques.

On successful completion of this unit, students should be able to:

• explain the interactions and role of driver, vehicle and road system
• apply traffic theories to solve practical traffic related problems
• analyse a variety of traffic facilities, their capactiy and level of service
• evaluate the operational performance of each facility
• develop methods of traffic management and control
