Traffic engineering is a branch of civil engineering that involves studying traffic patterns and developing strategies to improve safety and efficiency. It is a subdiscipline of transportation engineering that addresses the planning, design, and operation of streets and highways.
Traffic engineering includes:
Traffic volume studies: Collecting data on the number of vehicles passing through a specific location over a given period. These studies help in understanding the traffic demand, identifying peak periods, and evaluating the capacity of roadways and intersections. Speed studies: Studying the speed of different vehicles varies with respect to time and space. Traffic flow: The study of the movement of individual drivers and vehicles between two points and the interactions they make with one another. Traffic flow interactions: The study of interactions between travelers (including pedestrians, cyclists, drivers, and their vehicles) and infrastructure (including highways, signage, and traffic control devices).
Traffic engineering also involves: Spot speed studies Speed and delay studies Origin and destination studies Traffic capacity studies Parking studies Accident studies
