Courses

Survey of particular schools or historical periods of normative political theory. May be taken three times.

This course is designed to teach the student traffic safety planning, traffic law enforcement, regulation and control. The Alabama Motor Vehicle Code is examined. As needed.

Fundamental design concepts for highway traffic control systems. Control requirements and warrants; hardware operation and equipment selection; development and implementation of timing plans for isolated intersections and intersection networks. May count either CIVL 5510 or CIVL 6510/CIVL 6516.

Fundamental design concepts for highway traffic control systems. Control requirements and warrants: hardware operation and equipment selection; development and implementation of timing plans for isolated intersections and intersection networks. May count either CIVL 5510 or CIVL 6510/CIVL 6516.

Covers the principles of traffic engineering, including vehicle operating characteristics, traffic flow theory, geometric design of roads and intersections, and traffic control methods. Emphasis is placed on applying engineering analysis and design techniques to optimize traffic operations and improve safety.

This course is a basic introduction of the components of a highway traffic system and fundamentals of traffic engineering; analysis of traffic stream characteristics, levels of service, and capacity of urban and rural highways; study of warrants for traffic control devices; design and analysis of traffic signals and timing plans; analysis of urban and highway traffic characteristics using simulation software.

This course will focus on traffic flow parameters and their influence on roadway traffic conditions, with emphasis on traffic data collection, traffic safety analysis, roadway markings, traffic signs, traffic signal timing and signal capacity analysis, and traffic management systems.

Capacity analysis of rural and suburban highways, 2-lane highways, freeways, weaving sections, ramps and intersections. May count either CIVL 5500 or CIVL 6500/CIVL 6506.

Driver, pedestrian and vehicle characteristics. Principles of traffic flow for improved highway traffic service and safety. Design freeways, rural roads, urban streets, traffic signals, signs, channelization, and other traffic control measures.
