Goals of the Course(JPN) | | 本講義は英語で行う．
There is no doubt that a considerable portion of pollution emissions is resulted from transportation related activities and vehicular movements in particular. Managing traffic safely and efficiently is one of the most effective solutions to relieve environmental issues worldwide. Training specialists who have the knowledge and skills of traffic engineering is highly demanded especially in developing countries where travel demand is rapidly increasing despite insufficient transportation infrastructure. In this course, fundamentals and internationally forefront issues in traffic engineering are to be covered in theory and practice, so that students can effectively master the most important issues for practicing in highway planning and traffic operations.【DP1】 |
