Focuses on modern techniques to optimize the performance of a transportation system with emphasis on traffic networks in congested urban areas. The course introduces the broad components of Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) Engineering then moves into more in-depth analysis of advanced traffic management and information systems as a core component of ITS. The course covers both fundamentals as well as advanced techniques. Topics include history of ITS, ITS user services and subsystems, ITS interoperability and system architecture, enabling technologies for ITS, introduction to telecommunication technologies for ITS, introduction to control theory for transportation systems, traffic flow modelling, static and dynamic transportation network analysis, incident detection, freeway control, and surface street network control. Some advanced topics such as the use of artificial intelligence in ITS will also be introduced.
