Study of traffic and parking characteristics; application of traffic control devices; principles and techniques used to improve the efficiency and safety of traffic flow systems.

• Use the Greenshields traffic stream model to compute traffic stream speed, density, and flow.
• Calibrate the Greenshields and Van Aerde traffic stream models to field measurements using linear regression and the SPD_CAL calibration tool.
• Compute the level of service and capacity of weaving sections using the HCM procedures.
• Compute the level of service and capacity of merge and diverge sections using the HCM procedures.
• Construct and model merge, diverge, weaving sections, and isolated signalized intersections using the CORSIM and/or INTEGRATION software.
• Evaluate the operation of existing signal timings at an isolated intersection using the HCM procedures.
• Design the signal timings of an isolated intersection considering shared lanes and permissive movements.
• Compute the delay and stops between two signalized intersections along an arterial roadway.
