Introduction

The course is designed to provide exposure to the participants on the fundamental knowledge of traffic flow theory and modeling of traffic flow, macroscopic and microscopic models to understand traffic phenomena. This course also aims to outline the development of microscopic traffic simulation models and get hands-on experience with traffic simulators.

Course Objectives

  • To understand the traffic data based on the Eulerian and Lagrangian approaches and estimate traffic state using these data
  • Principles and conceptual understanding of macroscopic and microscopic traffic flow models and mathematical description and equations
  • To provide fundamental theoretical knowledge and practical training in traffic simulation
