Why a self-paced course?

Learn on your own time and schedule, as the course material is available 24 hours per day, 7 days a week. You can revisit modules as many times as desired to review any topics.

The course is designed with modern, science-based principles to maximize the learning experience. The use of audiovisual resources, interactive elements, and learning assessment activities are key elements in delivering an engaging learning environment.

Companies and agencies can provide training for as many of their employees as needed at a reduced cost.

In a regular classroom, people have different learning styles. In this self-paced course, you are free to explore the topics at your own pace and in the sequence that you desire

Although this course format does not use a live instructor, attendees will have access to continuous support from our experts anytime during the course enrollment.

Learning Objectives
At the end of this course attendees will be able to:

  • Understand key concepts for capacity analyses, including level of service, service measures, free-flow speed, peak hour factor, undersaturated x oversaturated conditions, etc.
  • List strengths and limitations of the HCM methods
  • Apply the HCM methods for planning level and operational analyses
  • Determine the Level of Service of different road elements
  • Use the Highway Capacity Software to analyze different road elements (freeways, highways, intersections, urban streets, interchanges, and alternative intersections)
  • Understand the required inputs for HCS analyses and learn about common modeling mistakes
  • Extract HCS reports and interpret performance measures

Prerequisites
There are no prerequisites for this course.
Attendees must meet minimum technology requirements such as having a computer with a steady internet connection and audio output. The course will be delivered through Moodle, an online Learning Management System (LMS).

Course access and duration
Upon registration, attendees will receive credentials (username and password) to access the course via Moodle. Once registered, attendees will have access to the course for a period of 45 days.
