Traffic Operation and Safety represent the lifeblood of any logistical system. By 2030, the Kingdom targets to reduce road accident fatalities, improve urban mobility, and reduce congestion. This interdisciplinary program provides students with the required knowledge and advanced skills to model, analyze, and design effective, technology-based solutions that would improve traffic safety, mobility systems, and transportation efficiency – thus launching their careers in this critically important discipline.

This program prepares professionals for a career in transportation engineering to provide and run efficient, economic, and safe transportation networks. Topics include traffic flow theory (macroscopic and microscopic flow, shock wave analysis, queuing theory, bottleneck analysis, etc.), geometric design of highways, traffic control and operation (signal theory, coordination, multimodal operation, roundabouts control, etc.), highway safety modeling (impact studies, auditing, traffic conflict analysis, etc.), intelligent transportation systems (connected vehicles, travel demand management, etc.), and human factors in traffic safety (e.g. vision processing). Advanced tools applied in this field will also be covered, such as data science and machine learning (e.g. neural networks, classification, vector machines).
