CIVL 4033 - Traffic Simulation Modelling
CIVL 4033 Traffic Simulation Modelling will teach the principles, theories, and application processes of traffic simulation modeling for 4th year Civil Engineering students to understand the complex interactions between traffics and surface infrastructure system. This course covers a variety of topics related to traffic simulation modelling such as car following and gap acceptance theories and swept path analysis. This course also provides students the opportunity to learn how to use the state-of-theindustry simulation tools (e.g., VISSIM, AutoTURN) to make informed decisions on the various surface infrastructure improvement projects.
CIVL 4110 - Civil Engineering Project Management
The course builds on the basic principles of project management covered in LE/ENG 2001. It covers salient features of the most widely accepted practices in the management of large civil engineering projects, grouped sequentially into five phases of initiation, planning, execution, monitoring/control, and closure. These five phases are presented using twelve areas of expertise needed by a professional project manager. The course uses a case-studies-based approach to cover various elements of project management, such as scope, time, cost, quality, human resources, communication, risk and procurement, relevant to large civil engineering projects. Complexities of managing large projects are emphasized using example applications of advanced project control tools. International standards on project management are also introduced.
CIVL 6511 - Intelligent Transportation Systems
“Intelligent transportation systems” (ITS) is the study and practice of making mobility smarter using technology. This course deals with the fundamentals of ITS including traffic management in urban and highway systems (e.g., road pricing and signalization), advanced traveller information systems (e.g., road and parking navigation), emerging trends in public transit and commercial vehicle operations, mobility-on-demand, and data analytics in transportation systems.
