This seminar presents a comprehensive overview of traffic and transportation engineering to professionals in this field. The emphasis of this seminar is to provide solutions for urban and rural transportation problems and to facilitate the management of transportation systems. Among the areas covered are traffic analysis and operations, transportation studies, intersection capacity, traffic and highway planning, geometric design, and transportation systems management.

Presentation is by Center for Public Safety staff and leading transportation and highway engineering professionals who include lectures and workshop sessions. Each participant receives a reference manual containing comprehensive coverage of all topics presented and a coordinated series of work problems and projects.

WHO SHOULD ATTEND

The two-week seminar is designed primarily for graduate engineers with traffic or transportation responsibilities. These include engineers with traffic engineering departments in larger cities, city engineers in smaller communities, civil engineers with county highway departments, and engineers employed by state transportation agencies, consulting firms, or the federal government.
