Description/Course Objective
CE73.11 Transportation Systems
3
 This course is aimed at providing background knowledge of transportation engineering with detailed and thorough understanding of the framework of transportation system and its basic characteristics to transportation students.
CE73.14 Transportation Economics and Project Evaluation
3
 This course aims to provide students with the tools necessary to undertake transport project evaluation. These tolls comprises of microeconomics background, transport demand forecasting, impact analysis and comprehensive judgment.
CE73.15 Public Transportation Systems
3
 This course aims to present the various modes of public transportation from their historical development to their current operational situations. Emphasis is placed on what to expect in the future from public transportation.
CE73.17 Airport Planning and Design
3
 This course will provide students with the experience and understanding of the procedures involved in airport planning and designs. 
CE73.22 Planning for Traffic Safety and Injury Prevention
3
 This course is designed to help students understand the patterns of traffic crashes, recognize sites and situations where traffic crashes are over-represented, learn safety treatments for such sites, as well as the causes of different accidents through reconstruction techniques. 
CE73.24 Intelligent Transportation Systems 
3
 This course provides an overview of intelligent transportation systems (ITS), which include a wide range of information technology applications to surface transportation. The different categories of ITS to be covered include traffic management systems, traveler information systems, fleet control systems, commercial vehicle regulation systems, transit systems, rural systems, and vehicle control systems. 
CE73.32 Design and Performance of Highway and Airport Pavement 
3
 This course aims to help students understand the theory and concept of pavement design for highway airport infrastructure to endure the increasing volumes and loads of traffic. Construction techniques for pavements are essential to the quality and performance of pavements in the long run, and highway engineers need to be equipped with basic knowledge of pavement construction techniques.
CE73.33 Pavement Management Systems
3
 This course presents the different elements of pavement management systems, which encompasses a wide spectrum of activities including planning, programming of investments, design, construction, maintenance, and periodic evaluation of performance. A number of case studies will be presented in this course.
CE73.34 Gender Analysis for Transportation Management
2
 The general understanding of road and transportation planners is that enhanced mobility will increase trade and exchange of goods/ information, thus will lead to economic development. However, the benefit of such development is not distributed equally, and there is a need to integrate gender/poverty analysis in transportation planning and management. Transportation infrastructure is, and will continue to be a focus of heavy investment in the Asian region. Therefore, it is important to build up professionals who have the capacity in connecting social/ gender analysis to physical infrastructure development planning. This course aims to bridge the two, by taking a multi-disciplinary approach to understanding the relationship between social/ gender relations and transportation management.
CE73.35 Sustainable Transportation
3
 With the progress of motorization, the environmental aspect of transportation facilities has become very important even in developing countries and the focus of transportation is expanding to social and economic areas. On the ground, sustainability is now a top priority topic in the various fields. In this class, sustainability-related transportation issues will be discussed.
CE73.36 Transportation Planning Methods and Analysis
3
 There arevarious mathematical analysis methods, which are utilized in transportation studies. Transportation engineers must understand these methods, especially statistics and probability concepts in engineering.
CE73.37 Transportation Demand Modeling and Forecasting
3
 This aim of this course is to provide students with an understanding of the role of transportation in urban development and planning, methods of analysis and forecasting transportation demand, transportation systems management and transportation sustainability.
CE73.38 Transportation Logistics
3
 This course will provide students with anunderstanding of the theoretical and practical aspects of several contemporary and advanced topics on actual logistics planning based on the fundamental knowledge mathematical programming and transport systems.
CE73.39 Traffic System Analysis and Control
3
 Traffic Engineering is one of the core subjects in transportation engineering. The course provides basic knowledge derived from various traffic engineering subjects. It will equip students with the knowledge of traffic characteristics, traffic operations, analysis, procedures, and design considerations for traffic engineering problems.
CE73.40 Advanced Geometric Design and Highway Safety
3
 The course aims to provide students with an understanding of the basic principles and techniques of highway design. In addition, the course will teach the theory and criteria of geometric design of rural urban and rural roads, and the safety aspects.
CE73.9005 Selected Topic: Logistics Systems
2
 This course will provide students with an understanding of the theoretical and practical aspects of several contemporary and advanced topics on actual logistics planning based on the fundamental knowledge mathematical programming and transport systems.
CE73.9006 Selected Topic: Rail System Administration and Management
3
 This course aims to illustrate principles of rail system administration and management and their key components. Case studies of rail system reform and modernisation from various countries are given to facilitate discussions on implication and evolution of system administration and management. Relevant success stories and lessons learned are presented for the purpose of improving the rail systems in the inland AEC region. Freight operations and services are also included to complete the overview.
