•Traffic engineering covers a broad range of engineeringapplications with a common focus: the nation’s system ofhighways and streets.

•These systems plays important roles in every aspect of osociety: economy, environment, public safety, basicmobility for all social purposes, basic access to even themost remote regions of the country

D. Travel Demand and TransportationPlanning

•Travel Demand is generated by activity – peoplegoing places for work, shopping, recreation, andother purposes.

•Transportation Planning involves spatial distributio

of residences and activity centers; temporaldistribution of trips; mode selection of trips.

E. Influencing the Demand Pattern

•The engineer’s job usually starts with a givenpattern of demand; such as some section of thenetwork exceeds capacity

 –Reduce the demand –Shift the temporal distribution of the demand

 –Repackage the demand

1. Reducing the Demand

•Travel demand is measured by some combinationof total trips and length of trips (person milestraveled). Travel demand can be reduced byshorter work weeks (need to consider business

aspect); staggered work hours, shorter average trlengths (job shifts to smaller cities), and more worat home.

2. Shifting the Demand

•Problem of congestion is too much demand at thesame time. Adopt staggered work hours andvariable work hours.

Responsibility of Traffic Engineer 

•Deals with the daily safety of a large segment of the public.

•Traffic engineer has a special obligation to employ

the available knowledge and state of the art (ITS)to enhance public safety.

Traffic Control Devices

•A media traffic engineers used to communicate widrivers

•Every traffic law, regulation, operating restrictionmust be communicated through the use of devicethat fall into 3 categories:

 –Traffic markings

 –Traffic signs

 –Traffic signals

MUTCD

•MUTCD (Manual of Uniform traffic control devices

 –Published by FHWA: served as a minimum standard ana model for individual state MUTCDs. State MUTCD maimpose additional or more stringent standards

 –Federal MUTCD is enforced by partial withholding of 

federal-aid highway funds from states that do not compl

Background of MUTCD

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/1-kns3433-lecture-1-introduction-to-traffic-engineering 53/89

Background of MUTCD

•Objective is to establish uniformity in the use,placement, and design of traffic control devices.

•Communication is greatly enhanced when thesame message is delivered in the same way and

similar circumstances at all times.

General Principle of MUTCD

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/1-kns3433-lecture-1-introduction-to-traffic-engineering 54/89

General Principle of MUTCD

•MUTCD defines 5 general requirements for a traffcontrol device:

 –Fulfill a need

 –Command attention

 –Convey a clear, simple meaning

 –Command respect of road users

 –Give adequate time for proper response

Fulfill A Need

Fulfill A Need

•Don’t use superfluous devices.

Command Attention, Convey clear ,i l i

simple meaning

•Affect the design of a device.

•Commanding attention requires proper visibility ana distinctive design that attracts the driver’sattention. Clarity and simplicity of message is

critical if the message is to be understood.

Command respect of road users

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/1-kns3433-lecture-1-introduction-to-traffic-engineering 57/89

Command respect of road users

•Each device must have a specific purpose, and must be

needed for the safe and efficient flow of traffic.

•Respected is commanded only when drives areconditioned to expect that all devices carry meaningful animportant messages. Overuse or misuse of devices

encourages drivers to ignore them. Thus, drivers will notpay attention to devices that are needed.

•Most frequently used traffic control devices

•3 broad categories

 –Longitudinal marking

 –Transverse marking

 –Object markings and delineators

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/1-kns3433-lecture-1-introduction-to-traffic-engineering 71/89

•Material for longitudinal and transvers marking is a

variety of materials. Usually reflectorized paint andthermoplastic.

•Paint reflectorized is provided by mixing small glabeads in the paint, or by applying a thin layer of glass beads to the surface of a marking as it isplaced. (Max reflectorization, vulnerable towear&tear)

•Marking Placed Across Travel Lanes

•Examples: –Stop Lines

 –Crosswalk (different ways of marking)

 –Combination of stop line and crosswalk?

•Stop line should be placed 4 feet in advance of, or parallel to thcrosswalk

 –Parking space markings

 –Transvers Bar/ Rumble Strip

Word and Symbol Markings

•Placement of small number of word and/or symbo

markings on the pavement surface.

•Object markers are reflectorized devices mounted

on obstruction within or adjacent to the roadway.•Delineators are reflectorized devices mounted atthe roadside to demark roadway alignment.
