The Learn by Doing Philosophy

The goal of this website is to provide undergraduate students, graduate students, and transportation engineering professionals with an understanding of the wide array of highway design and traffic management and simulation modeling techniques and to provide them opportunities to design, build, and evaluate these systems using the different engineering applications such as MicroStation, InRoads, Infraworks, Vissim and Synchro. In this course, the students will be presented with state-of-the-art transportation simulation modeling and highway design technologies.

A primary focus of the course is to learn how to create a highway interchange using different engineering design software and to run a commercialized microscopic traffic simulator while using the simulator as a tool to help manage and control traffic. This material supplements similar vehicle simulation material.
