Traffic Engineering

With the growth of economy and population, numbers of vehicles on roads are increasing exponentially. It has therefore become necessary to study the traffic pattern and accordingly design traffic system which is efficient, comfortable and safe to use and economical to built.

This course is therefore introduced to provide insight regarding safety of the road users and proper regulation of traffic flow on multi-lane urban roads. Traffic Engineer should understand the basics of design of signals, intersection and regulations. It is also important to understand proper methods of traffic survey and traffic management techniques.

This course attempts to impart knowledge and skills of various traffic control devices to students. It is also necessary for students to learn about safety measures taken during design of the roads for prevention of accidents. Thus this course is an important course for civil engineers working in transportation sector.
