Coordination and integration of ITS components are treated.

The course covers basic concepts in transportation and traffic engineering, including: volume, demand, and capacity traffic stream parameters and their meaning transportation modes and modal characteristics. The impact of traveler and vehicle characteristics on traffic flow and on other modes is presented and discussed. The importance of data collection is emphasized with sample studies, such as volume, speed and travel time, and safety. Capacity and level of service analysis for uninterrupted flow facilities, including freeways, multilane highways and two-lane highways is demonstrated using methodologies of the 2010 Highway Capacity Manual.

Prerequisites: Graduate standing or department consent.

This is a capstone course involving individual and or group projects that include several different aspects of transportation planning and engineering. The project will be different each year, and focus on a problem of current interest and importance.

Technology, legislation and market forces have contributed to improved transportation safety for decades. But one must consider which metrics are most relevant for which modes, the role of demographics and traffic levels and other factors when analyzing and predicting safety trends. The course pays attention to a systems view, to metrics by mode and to both standard field and statistical analyses. Consistent with current priorities, the course addresses security as well as safety issues.

The purpose of this course is to (1) understand the causes of traffic congestion and to measure how congestion impacts transportation users and communities, (2) set forth a vision for managing congestion and (3) develop and evaluate strategies and policies that achieve the vision. Prerequisite: Graduate Standing.

This course provides a thorough understanding of policy, planning, operational and technical issues that affect urban public transportation. It includes the historical development of cites and the rise of urban transport. Also covered are the characteristics of various urban transportation modes (their specific operating and infrastructure characteristics), as well as key elements that are critical to service provision, such as service planning, scheduling, fare collection, communication and signaling, station design and customer service. The course offers a broad perspective on regional planning, capital programming and policy matters. Special focus will be on emerging technologies and their practical applications.

Transportation infrastructure deploys a wide range of modern technology to provide service to travelers, the general public and private entities. This technology enables other systems to function effectively and serve societal needs. This course focuses on data communications and applications in intelligent transportation systems: communications alternatives and analyses, emerging technologies, geographic information systems (GIS) and global positioning systems (GPS).

This course covers design techniques and approaches to a variety of pedestrian and vehicular needs in conjunction with access to land functions. Terminals are inter-modal interface facilities involving the transfer of people and or goods from one mode of transportation to another. This course covers essential elements of terminal planning and design, including transit stations and terminals, major goods terminals at ports and railheads and others.

The goal of this course is to provide students with the tools and methods to understand basics of traffic flow theory, modeling and simulation. The emphasis will be on the use of real-world data to supplement the understanding of the theory behind theoretical models. Small-scale models will be developed in R or Python then tested and validated against real-world data. The use of some of the well-known microscopic, mesoscopic, and agent-based transportation traffic modeling and simulation software tools such as SUMO and MATSIM will also be introduced using a hands-on approach with real-world transportation networks.

This course covers the identification, formulation, preliminary appraisal and detailed analysis of individual civil engineering projects and systems. It also covers different approaches for government agencies, public utilities, industrial firms and private entrepreneurs. Prerequisite: Graduate Standing.

I really enjoyed the blend of opting for Master and Business school classes, it helped me grow not only technically but also from a managerial perspective. The faculties and the practical learning exposure was amazing, and I learnt a lot of the professional development courses as well which was just offered to the Professional Masters graduate program.

I came to Purdue with so many dreams and aspirations, and I'm so excited to share that being a cohort of the Professional Masters Graduate Program in Civil Engineering, it surpassed all my expectations. I strongly recommend this program to fellow students since it is a great amalgamation of engineering and business school. It will not only hone your technical skills but also prepare for the real world with business school classes and practical learning exposure. Times may be tough, but always believe in yourself. We are Boilermakers, what we make moves the world forward!

It was also appropriate since the purpose of my masters was to immediately begin my professional career.

My experience in the program was enjoyable, challenging, beneficial, and impactful. I also made a great number of new colleagues and connections with my classmates which I'm sure will be useful in the future for both me, the colleagues, and the overall industry. towards the program itself, I improved technical skills such as time management, multi-tasking, critical thinking, and engineering methods.

(in the safest way possible, of course.).

I feel that the program gave me a lot of confidence in my competence and technical ability related to my field.
