Module I (10 hours)<\/strong>
Scope of traffic engineering & study of its elements – introduction – objectives and scope of traffic engineering – components of road traffic – vehicle, driver and road – road user and vehicle characteristics and their effect on road  traffic – traffic maneuvers – traffic stream characteristics – relationship between speed, flow and density – sampling in traffic studies – adequacy of sample size
Module II (14 hours)<\/strong>
Traffic engineering studies and analysis – objectives – methods of study – equipment – data collection – analysis and interpretation (including case studies) of (a) speed, (b) speed and delay, (c) volume, (d) origin and destination, (e) parking, (f) accident & other studies
Module III (14 hours)<\/strong>
Design, regulation and management of traffic engineering facilities – control of traffic movements through time sharing and space sharing concepts – design of channelising islands, T, Y, skewed, staggered, roundabout, miniroundabout and other forms of at-grade crossings including provision forsafe crossing of pedestrians and cyclists – grade separated intersections – their warrants and design features – bus stop location and bus bay design – road lighting – regulations on vehicles, drivers and traffic – planning and design of one-way streets – reversible lanes and roadways – turn regulation – transit and carpool lanes – pedestrian facilities.
Module IV (14 hours)<\/strong>
Traffic control devices & environmental control – traffic signs – markings and signals – different methods of signal design – redesign of existing signals including case studies – signal system and coordination – air & noise pollution of different transport modes – visual impacts – impacts on land development – technological approaches to improving environment<\/p>\n\n\n\n
