Traffic Signal Control
Executive Training Program
GREAT Smart Cities Institute
Program Highlights
We offer a range of customised training programs in traffic and transport engineering and management to various stakeholders, including government departments and relevant partners. The topics may include but are not limited to:
1
Advanced signal control simulation and optimisation software, including DISCO and VISSIM, with a step-by-step guide.
3
Use of traffic data, traffic survey, data collection and data processing.
2
Principles of traffic signal control, traffic flow theory, and current practice and its limitations.
4
Traffic engineering, design considerations and traffic management strategies.
