The course is presented in the form of lectures by the
instructor, reports by the students, supplementary reading,
and, whenever practicable, field studies and analyses
of actual traffic problems. The subjects covered are as
follows: purposes of traffic control; accident statistics;
accident records as a basis for accident prevention
with special attention being paid to the use of spot
maps, flow diagrams and collision diagrams in analysing
traffic problems; legislation and administration as a
means of regulating traffic; examination of applicants
for drivers’ licenses; through and stop streets; critical
approach speeds; traffic control at intersections by
traffic beacons, traffic officers and traffic signals;
studies of rotary and channellized intersections; highway
and railway grade crossing elimination; traffic lanes,
centerline markings; highway lighting; parking; education
of all groups from the pre-school child to the adult;
law enforcement, especially studying the problem of the
drinking driver and the “accident repeater”; and traffic
courts and violations bureaus.
Reference Material: This is composed of all available
literature in the field of traffic control. A few of the
organizations and institutions whose literature is used
are as follows: American Association of State Highway
Officials; American Automobile Association; American Road
Builders’ Association; Bureau of Public Roads; Institute
of Traffic Engineers; International Association of
Chiefs of Police; Iowa State College; Metropolitan Life
Insurance Company; Motor Vehicle Department of New Jersey
and numerous other states; National Bureau of Casualty
and Surety Underwriters; National Conference on Street
and Highway Safety; National Safety Council; New Jersey
Traffic Commission; Northwestern University Traffic
Safety Institute; Portland Cement Association; Travelers
Insurance Company; University of Illinois; University of
Michigan; and University of Wisconsin.
CE 30-1 Structures. Prerequisite, First Semester Phys 30.
This course forms a transition between the previous
courses of mechanics (statics) and strength of materials
and the course in structures CE 30-2 given to the senior
civil students. It treats of a more rounded and complete
study of reaction and internal stresses in roof trusses
and statically determinate bridges by both analytical and
graphical methods. Special emphasis is placed upon the
construction and use of influence lines. A short time is
devoted to the approximate solution of lateral bracing and
portals.
