My long-term
goal is to focus my career in mass transit structures. My URSP project plays a
fundamental role in my education of transit, how it works and most importantly
how to predict its future pattern. This project is my first step in achieving
my future goals in transit.
I am currently
in the process of developing a traffic pattern for the campus. I have completed
the data collection portion. Which is simply taking traffic counts at different
locations. The process of creating a traffic pattern is completed using
software. This week I spent all my time designating the campus roadways and
determining all intersections and parking locations. Once complete this will
allow me to develop a traffic pattern that I can then use as my sample. I
discovered additional functionality of the software I am using allowing me to
get more accurate models.
