TRANSPORTATION OPERATIONS
Introduction to assessment tools of transportation operations and fundamental concepts in flow theory, flow control, observation and measurement techniques, and scheduled transportation. Applied to various modes of transportation. Emphasis on logic rather than recipe-oriented practice.
