3.00 Credits
The purpose of this course is to introduce students to core models that support transportation engineering. In addition, the course provides a background on fundamental mathematical and heuristic search methods, optimization theories, stochastic optimizations and graph theory that underpin the transportation models. At the completion of this course, students will be able to apply mathematical search and optimization techniques and graph theory for transportation system control and management problems and understand the importance of stochastic optimization and its applications.
-
3.00 Credits
The financing of transportation systems and services is an important element in the process of developing new or renovated facilities. This course develops familiarity with financing techniques that have been proposed or used by localities and state agencies. Consideration is given to advantages and disadvantages and the conditions appropriate to their application.

3.00 Credits
This course covers advanced topics in geometric design of highways. Topics include highway functions and classification, characteristics, design control and criteria, and cross section elements. Other material covered includes local collectors, rural and urban arterials, freeways, at-grade intersections, grade separations, and interchanges. The topics covered parallel the AASHTO geometric design book, ‘The Green Book.’
