Engineering Architecture & Transportation Standards

Course Summary

Transportation systems are vital to modern society, and organisations and the public use a vast number of systems every day. To ensure these systems function correctly, assessing their architecture and comparing the features and processes to transportation standards is important.


The transportation standards were established as a guideline for all transportation systems to guarantee their harmonious operation. Furthermore, these systems must be accessible to any organisation or individual who wishes to use them and completely safe. 


While traditional systems have been successful for many years, there will forever be a change in customer demands. As technologies are continuously advancing, there has been a rise in the popularity of intelligent transportation systems. Intelligent transportation systems are quickly becoming the new standard of transportation, as these systems are more cost-effective, reduce negative environmental impacts and are increasingly more reliable for health and safety.

 

Before integrating an intelligent system, it is important to understand its architecture and processes in comparison to traditional systems and design an effective way to merge traditional standards with upcoming ones.


Upon completion of this course, participants will be able to:
 

  • Understand the vitality of architecture and transportation standards.
  • Identify the needs and demands of consumers and stakeholders.
  • Analyse current transportation architecture and location faults and implement solutions.
  • Advance existing architecture utilising new technology to create a more cost-effective and safe system.
  • Review the trends in architecture and transportation.
  • Examine intelligent transportation systems and how they are becoming the new standard.
  • Assess intelligent transportation systems and their advantages and disadvantages.
  • Utilise the inter-dependencies of components to simplify the data exchange within systems.

This course is designed for anyone responsible for managing transportation systems or those who desire to integrate intelligent systems into current systems. It would be most beneficial for:

 

  • Civil Engineers
  • Urban Planners
  • Project Managers
  • Operations Managers
  • Architects
  • Strategic Development Managers
  • Traffic and Transport Engineers

This course uses a variety of adult learning styles to aid full understanding and comprehension. Participants will review case studies of existing transportation systems to highlight how they follow standard practices and assess how they may be adapted into intelligent transportation systems.


They will be provided with all the necessary tools and equipment to participate in the learning exercises. Combined with presentations, group discussions, practical demonstrations, and video materials, participants will have ample opportunities to develop their knowledge of the taught content. Furthermore, they can practise the associated practical skills while completing the supplied case study.
