Transportation

Overview: The Transportation Engineering program offers education and research opportunities in transportation systems planning, design, operations, and management. It is designed to enable aspiring planners, engineers, and managers to obtain advanced degrees while specializing in infrastructure management, traffic network analysis, facility design, traffic operations, transportation economics and finance, planning and forecasting, and project appraisal. Past and present research undertaken by the Transportation program faculty and researchers ranges from transportation network modeling, emerging mobility services, microscopic traffic flow simulation, and network reliability to traffic safety modeling, transportation asset management, video image processing, and intelligent transportation systems, as well as travel behavior analysis, transportation planning, and travel demand modeling. The focus remains on efficient, effective, and sustainable solutions to transportation problems.
