Undergraduate courses in bike and pedestrian topics Portland State UniversityCE 410/510 - Transportation Safety Analysis Description: Incorporating safety in highway engineering and transportation planning that includes highway design, operation, and maintenance, as well as human factors, statistical analysis, traffic control and public policy. Design concepts of intersections, interchanges, signals, signs and pavement markings; analyzing data sets for recommendations and prioritization; principles of driver and vehicle characteristics in relation to the roadway. CE 407/507 & USP 407/507 - Transportation Seminar Description: The Center for Transportation Studies, in cooperation with the Center for Urban Studies, School of Urban Studies and Planning and Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, offers a Transportation Seminar Series. The seminars are presented each Friday during the academic year in the Distance Learning Center. Students, transportation professionals and community members are welcome to participate in person and via live streaming video. Remote participants are invited to submit questions by email during the seminars, and all seminars are archived in streaming video format for future viewing. We have seen some substantial growth in the on-line access of our archived seminars, as shown in this chart. PSU students may enroll in the seminar for one unit. CE 410/510 - Traffic Control and Analysis Description: Traffic control principles; maintenance and responsibility for traffic control devices; choice of traffic control; signs, markings and signals; low-volume roads, temporary control and school areas; traffic control for highway-rail grade crossing, bicycles and transit; warrants for control; control techniques and analysis, advanced technologies. USP 465/565 - Pedestrian and Bicycle Planning Description: Pedestrian and Bicycle Planning (3 credit hours) Course will discuss the need for pedestrian/bicycle mobility, developing a bikeway network, off-street paths/trails, and developing a pedestrian network. Both worldwide and nationwide contexts will be considered. This class will also cover state and local policies; national, state, and local standards/guidelines; retrofitting existing bridges/roadways; trail-roadway intersections; and development codes, incentives. Oregon State UniversityCE392 - Introduction to Highway Engineering Description: Highway engineering standards, geometric design, cross section and roadside design, highway surfaces, pavement design, highways and the environment, highway construction and maintenance. University of OregonPPPM 407/507 - Seminar: Transportation and Land Use Management Description: This course will provide a framework for thinking critically about transportation and land-use policy in metropolitan areas. It will begin by developing an understanding of the key determinants of trip choice and urban development. It will then evaluate the many policies that have been proposed to deal with urban transportation problems, including congestion pricing and changes in land-use patterns. For each policy it will examine the degree to which it can affect these determinants and, ultimately, highway congestion in urban areas.
