This online course in Traffic Engineering and Management offers a structured exploration into the systems guiding our streets and transport networks. You’ll examine how traffic control devices and signals work together to optimise flow, reduce congestion, and improve safety. From operational strategies to capacity analysis, the course guides you through the frameworks traffic engineers use to balance efficiency and accessibility across varied environments.
You’ll also explore the design of intersections, the integration of pedestrian and bicycle facilities, and approaches to parking management — all essential elements in shaping functional urban mobility. With expert-led modules, the course provides focused insights into how engineering principles, design strategies, and management tools intersect (no pun wasted) to create smoother, safer, and more reliable transport systems. Whether you’re planning to expand your expertise or simply fascinated by what keeps traffic moving, this course offers a detailed and engaging learning experience.
