This course provides students with a grounding in the subject of traffic infrastructure and its operation, including all surface transport modes, from local to national levels. Students will learn the essentials of various road-based transportation modes like cars, cycles, trucks, and public passenger infrastructures. The focus then shifts to road infrastructure operation, covering the basics of traffic flow, performance of links and junctions (including roundabouts, priority junctions, and traffic signal control), and queuing at conflict or delay points.

The second half of the course focuses on busy urban streets, looking in more detail at street performance, street functions (Movement and Place), street users and their design requirements. It involves students working in groups to develop innovative street design options for a busy high street in Inner London (in conjunction with a local authority), with supporting lectures introducing students to data collection and analysis, street types and street uses, street design concepts and processes including safety and accessibility, street space allocation, street experiences and perspectives, and future streets.

Learning Outcomes

On successfully completing this module, students will be able to:

1. Explain and apply basic engineering and operational concepts that are relevant to the roads-based transport of people and goods.
2. Describe and analyse the street as a complex, multi-dimensional and multi-functional environment.
3. Identify and articulate the needs and design requirements of the various existing and potential street user groups.

Carry out a comprehensive street redesign exercise, using a range of qualitative and quantitative street design tools to create new and innovative designs - balancing user needs and considering wider policy objectives.
