Orientation: Principles of Transportation Engineering

The course Principles of Transportation Engineering introduces the fundamentals of transportation systems, including planning, design, traffic operations, and safety. It highlights the role of transport in economic growth, sustainability, and social equity.

Gender and Development (GAD)

This subject integrates GAD principles to emphasize inclusivity in transportation. Students will learn how transport systems can be designed to ensure accessibility, safety, and equity for women, children, the elderly, and persons with disabilities. By doing so, the course develops not only technical skills but also social awareness in future engineers.

CHAPTER 1: Introduction to Transportation Planning and Engineering

The Field of Transportation Engineering

According to Institute of Transportation Engineering (1987)

Transportation engineering is the application of technology and scientific

principles to the planning, functional design, operation, and management of

facilities for any mode of transportation in order to provide for the safe, rapid,

comfortable, convenient, economical, and environmentally compatible

movement of people and goods.

CHAPTER 2: Transportation as a System: Philippine Transportation System

Transportation System

A system is defined as a set of interrelated components that perform several functions in order to achieve a common goal and is therefore an entity that maintains its existence and functions as a whole through the interaction of its parts

CHAPTER 3: Urban Transportation Planning

Transportation of people and goods is a medium of activity and is the joint

consequence of the land-use potential and the traffic-carrying

capabilities of various modes of transportation. Engineers and planners

prepare plans for the future to guide the city or community to control and

govern a course of action.

URBAN TRANSPORTATION PLANNING is the process that leads to decisions

on transportation policies and programs. It also involves the evaluation and

selection of highway or transit facilities to serve present and future land

uses.
