New course proposals
The following new course proposals have been submitted to the Faculty Senate office for review and approval and are listed here for faculty review and comment. Comments on any new course proposal should be submitted to Ernest May, Secretary of the Faculty Senate, at senate@senate.umass.edu.
CE-ENGIN 520, “Traffic Flow Theory and Simulation I,” 3 credits. Instructor: Daiheng Ni. Fundamentals of traffic flow including its characteristics and their relationships; Mathematical models that describe traffic flow dynamics at multiple levels of detail; Solutions and applications of these models that capture traffic flow phenomena such as congestion and queue dissipation. Prerequisites: CE-ENGIN 310, “Introduction to Transportation Engineering” or CE-ENGIN 411/511, “Traffic Engineering.”
CE-ENGIN 521, “Traffic Flow Theory and Simulation II,” 3 credits. Instructor Daiheng Hi. Applications of traffic flow theory involving traffic flow modeling at varying levels of details using manually-generated and commercially-available transportation simulation tools. Fundamentals involved in transportation simulation such as random number generation, input/output analysis, and macroscopic and microscopic traffic flow models. Prerequisites: CE-ENGIN 310, “Introduction to Transportation Engineering,” or CE-ENGIN 411/511, “Traffic Engineering.”
