Course description
Traffic flow theory is the foundation of daily traffic operation and controls. Transport Engineering is also rapidly changing as a result of emerging and disruptive technologies, such as connected and automated vehicles, car sharing and electric vehicles, which make transportation systems more dynamic and complex. This course provides future transport planners and traffic engineers with the capacity to develop and implement effective and efficient traffic management strategies. Students will gain essential knowledge of advanced and emerging issues in Transport Engineering so they can contribute to the design and management of future transport systems. The course focuses on advanced traffic flow theories and modelling as well as emerging topics such as automated vehicles, cooperative driving. The opportunities and challenges in the era of connected and automated vehicles are also explored. The course compliments other transport courses offered at the University of Queensland and extends material from courses such as CIVL2410 and CIVL3420. This course also prepares students for more advanced study in CIVL7435.
