Course Objectives	Introduce ‘Transportation Engineering’ fundamentals with a principal overview about different modes and planning. Discussion on road, traffic and vehicle characteristics. Detail studies on geometric design elements of highways. Preparations for horizontal and vertical design of highways. Introduce ‘Traffic Engineering’ principles with general considerations on traffic stream characteristics. Introduce capacity and level of service concepts.
Course Learning Outcomes	The students who succeeded in this course; Students become familiar to the different transportation modes. Highway geometric elements together with horizontal and vertical design concepts are known. Students can understand the basic principles of traffic engineering. Different traffic stream variables, capacity and level of service concepts are became clear to the third year civil engineering students. Students become ready to the highway project design and further traffic engineering courses.
Course Content	Highway engineering, highway economy, highway geometric elements, horizontal and vertical design; traffic engineering, traffic stream variables, capacity and level of service concepts on rural highways and intersections.
