Lecturer 1: Prof Travis Waller, s.waller@unsw.edu.au Room CE 110 Lecturer 2: Dr Upali Vandebona, u.vandebona@unsw.edu.au Room CE 105 Lecturer 3: Dr Babak Shahbodagh, b.shahbodagh@unsw.edu.au Room CE507 Teaching assistant: Dr David Rey, d.rey@unsw.edu.au Course coordinator: Upali Vandebona INFORMATION ABOUT THE COURSE This is the first introductory course into the discipline of transport engineering as part of the broad field of civil and environmental engineering. An outline of the field of transport engineering and its relationships with other engineering and non-engineering disciplines is provided within the course. The basic concepts and terminology of the discipline is introduced. The course comprises of two strands. The first strand of the course covers the first 4 weeks of the session. This strand is concerned with the analysis, design and evaluation of traffic and network systems, including basics of the four step transport planning process. The aim of this strand is to learn the basics related to methods applicable in transport planning and traffic engineering profession. The methods learned in this strand will be relevant in urban transport planning as well as regional planning context. The lectures and tutorial work will provide an opportunity to learn engineering properties of traffic streams along with relevant measurement and network analysis techniques. The second strand of the course will be run from week 5 to week 12. This strand is subdivided into two components. Aim of the first component is to give students a brief overview of the
