- INTR 5200Intelligent Transportation Systems[3-0-0:3]DescriptionIntelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) apply a variety of technologies to monitor, evaluate, and manage transportation systems to enhance efficiency and safety. This course introduces the basic components and functions of ITS and how they are designed and operated to manage traffic and multi-modal transportation systems. The main topics of this course include transportation systems analysis, ITS planning and institutional issues, and emerging technologies such as connected and autonomous vehicles, electric vehicles, mobility-as-a-service and advanced parking management systems. Other topics of interest, including data management and incident management, might be introduced and guest lectures be presented if time allows.Intended Learning Outcomes
