  Synopsis

  This is one of the compulsory subjects which will exposed students to the fundamental theory of traffic engineering. The content of traffic engineering subject provides students with the fundamental theory of traffic flow and management.

  Major topics include traffic studies, drivers’ behavior and interactions, statistics, the fundamental theory of speed–flow–density relationships and applications in road performance analysis, the design of traffic signalized system, and highway geometric design.

  Topic 2
  FUNDAMENTAL THEORY OF TRAFFIC FLOW

  Traffic engineer must understand how elements of traffic such as road users, vehicles, and roadways interact with each other.  Traffic engineering studies need to be carried out to obtain information needed in traffic planning and design. Fundamental theory of traffic flow need to be understood so that traffic problem can be tackled correctly and efficiently.

  1. Introduction
  2. Basic concepts - volume, speed, density, headway
  3. Relationship between volume, speed and density
  4. Level of service concept
