This course will benefit both transportation planners and engineers who are responsible for the design or operation of streets and highways. The methodologies introduced in the course are vital to the evaluation of proposed roadway changes to ensure that adequate capacity is provided in both present and future years. This course may also be useful to non-technical staff or supervisors who wish to learn more about the highway capacity process.
6 Professional Development Hours (PDHs) can be granted for this course.
The Tennessee Academy for Transportation Engineering (TATE) is an educational Program providing continuing education for engineers, planners, designers and technicians.
