Winter 2004 CEE298 Special Topics:
Traffic Simulation Modeling
Department of Civil and Environmental
Course Website: http://www.its.uci.edu/~lchu/cee298/
This is a comprehensive introductory course to traffic simulation modeling. Topics include: introduction to some fundamental concepts of microscopic simulation modeling, traffic system and its modeling, how a simulation model works and its core algorithms, a walk每though simulation study, and applications of micro-simulation. From this class students learned how to use microscopic traffic simulation models for evaluating traffic operation strategies and planning alternatives, and for research problems.
Spring 1997 Foxbase Database
Department
of Computer Science,
This
course introduces how to use the database software: Foxbase.
3.2
WORKSHOP ORGANIZED AND TAUGHT
October
2004 Microscopic
Traffic Simulation Modeling
Short course in the 7th International IEEE
Conference on Intelligent Transportation Systems,
This short course was designed to introduce fundamental
concepts of microscopic simulation modeling, provide a state-of-art overview of
microscopic traffic simulation models, and explain how to use them for modeling
traffic system and evaluating traffic operation strategies and planning
alternatives, and for research problems.
April
2002 Applications of Micro-simulation Models to
Transportation Planning
This workshop was designed for transportation planners and traffic engineers from government agencies to explore the applicability of various simulation models to transportation planning and traffic operations. This workshop also provided transportation practitioners with necessary knowledge and hands-on experience on the application of micro-simulation models. I was one of the instructors for the 3-hour Paramics simulation hand-on exercises.
February
2002 Paramics Simulation User Group
Meeting
California
Department of Transportation
I participated in organizing the Paramics Simulation User Group Meeting for the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans). During the meeting, I instructed in a 2-hour class to teach Caltrans Paramics users to use the Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) to extend the functionalities of Paramics.
