Transportation Flow Systems

This page is a course overview for Massachusetts Institute of Technology’s (MIT) course 1.255J/ESD.205J, Transportation Flow Systems.  Students will explore traffic flows through complex transportation systems and ways to model transportation networks to maximize efficient flow. The site provides recommended readings, lecture notes, an exam, and transportation model examples in Microsoft Excel.  The production and distribution of this resource is part of MIT OpenCourseWare, an initiative of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology to put all of the educational materials from its undergraduate and graduate-level courses online and make them freely accessible.
