CIVE 440 - Traffic Engineering and simulation

This is an undergraduate, intermediary-level course designed to familiarize students with the state of the art of road design. The course should prepare students to solve typical problems encountered in traffic engineering projects including: data collection strategies; fixed, adaptive and coordinated traffic light design; and training using the VISSIM microsimulation software.

This course is taught in English at McGill University. Visit the official course listing. Please note that I am no longer teaching this course.
