Σύνοψη

'Traffic engineering is that part of Engineering which deals with the traffic planning and design of roads of frontage development and of parking facilities and with the control of traffic to provide safe, convenient and economic movements of vehicles and pedestrians. ' This is the defInition adopted by the Institution of Civil Engineers.
TRAFFIC ENGINEERING is very important and
has arisen in time from civilization. The first vehicle was invented and therefore the need for designing roads was a must, as it is needed in everyday life.
The increase of vehicles over the past few decades has caused some problems in areas such as the volume of traffic and also pollution. Solutions must be made and these problems demands more than just
designing, as accidents must be reduced and congestion on roads have to be relieved. This is my aim i.e. engineer.
To help this situation important criteria should be
considered to help and fulfill the purpose of road design i.e. the present and future capacity. Roads should not be designed for the future as the increase in vehicles and roads are continually enlarging in everyday
circumstances. The economic criteria should also keep to a budget and should not exceed the limit, as it should work on the advantage of the economy.
Information and data should be collected to find out
where the drivers wish to go i.e. direction. Also the size of the vehicle. Should be considered to make urban roads safer. This is why traffic studies should be made.
