COURSE NO: C07-004
PDH CREDIT: 7
COURSE PROVIDER: Gilbert Gedeon, P.E.
Traffic Control Concepts for Urban and Suburban Streets
Course Highlights

This online engineering PDH course discusses traffic control concepts for urban and suburban streets. In planning and designing a traffic signal control system, one must first understand the applicable operational concepts related to signalized intersection control and signal-related special control. A number of commonly used proprietary traffic systems and simulations are discussed in this chapter. These discussions provide illustrations of the technology.

 

This 7 PDH online course is applicable to transportation planners, traffic engineers, agency personnel as well as design and construction personnel involved with the development, review, approval, implementation, and assessment of traffic control planning, designs and implementation.
