Transportation Flow Systems: Course Description
Learn about the capacity of airway runways and how maximizing flow can improve the transportation of cargo and passengers. Discover the average flow rate of road traffic and how that affects travel time, cost and safety. This free OpenCourseWare provided by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT)'s School of Engineering in Cambridge, Massachusetts, provides an overview of transportation flow systems and their real-world applications. Students will learn how to optimize the transportation flow of systems by using the shortest paths possible and increasing familiarity with traffic control. Students will also learn how various conditions like snow and fog, accidents, construction and speed limit affect road traffic. MIT professors Ismail Chabini and Amedeo R. Odoni teach this course about design, optimization and management of transportation flow systems. Students will also conduct simulations that model transportation flow systems to enable experimental study with applications in a variety of industries.
This course incorporates lectures, notes and study materials which are available for free online. For more information on this OpenCourseWare, visit the intelligent transportation systems course page.
