After successful completion of this course, the student is able to:

• Comment on main traffic phenomena;
• Explain calculations of traffic operations in moving coordinates;
• Comment on the effect of multiple lanes;
• Comment on hysteresis and the capacity drop;
• Explain the necessary elements for a valid node model;
