CIV E 411 - Transportation Engineering II

3.8 units (fi 8)(FIRST, 3-0-3/2)

The course provides an in-depth understanding of transportation planning and traffic operations concepts and methods. These include: travel demand analysis; data collection methods and data analysis; urban transportation planning and modeling techniques; traffic flow fundamentals and characteristics; and operations of surface roadway networks and controls (intersections). Emerging topics in transportation engineering for future careers will be discussed. Prerequisite: CIV E 315, STAT 235.

CIV E 613 - Human Behaviour in Transportation

3 units (fi 6)(EITHER, 3-0-0)

Utility theory, microeconomic principles of behaviour, discrete choice models, parameter estimation techniques, forecasting, modelling transportation decisions, qualitative interviewing, focus groups, emerging data analysis methods, sampling and data preparation, and survey design. Prerequisite: consent of instructor.

CIV E 719 - Advanced Topics in Transportation and Engineering
