What a transportation engineer do????

Answer 1

Designs the flow and designs systems involving transportation and traffic.

There is actually a lot more to it than most people realize. There are a lot of variables and people who are good at this tend to be in great demand (people that stink at it snarl traffic and create huge problems, and consequently go on to be something else).

Answer 2

Transport engineering (alternatively transportation engineering) aims to ensure the safe and efficient movement of people and goods (transport). It is a sub-discipline of civil engineering.

The planning aspects of transportation engineering relate to urban planning, and involve technical forecasting decisions and political factors. Technical forecasting of passenger travel usually involves what is called a four-step urban transportation planning model, requiring the estimation of trip generation (how many trips for what purpose), trip distribution (destination choice, where is the traveller going), mode choice (what mode is being taken), and route assignment (which streets or routes are being used). More sophisticated forecasting can include other aspects of traveller decisions, including auto ownership, trip chaining (the decision to link individual trips together in a tour) and the choice of residential or business location (known as land use forecasting).

The design aspects of transportation engineering include the sizing of transportation facilities (how many lanes or how much capacity the facility has), determining the materials and thickness used in pavement, designing the geometry (vertical and horizontal alignment) of the roadway (or track).

Operations and management involve traffic engineering, so that vehicles move smoothly on the road or track. Older techniques include signs, signals, and markings. Newer technologies involve Intelligent Transportation Systems, including Advanced Traveler Information Systems, such as variable message signs, and Advanced Traffic Control Systems, such as ramp meters. Human factors are an important aspect of transport engineering, particularly concerning driver-vehicle interface and user interface of road signs, signals, and markings.

Answer 3

Transportation engineers design efficient systems of transportation.

For example, the Grandview Triangle (see http://www.kctriangle.org/ ) is an example of something a bad transportation engineer would do.

Answer 4

Design highways for one thing.

Answer 5

CONTROLS THE TRANSPORTATION
