Department Of
CIVIL ENGINEERING (CE)
Traffic Engineering and GIS Laboratory

Overview

Traffic Engineering and GIS (Geographic Information System) lab is housed on the 4th floor of the Civil Engineering Building and has a floor area of 1,700 sqft. It facilitates analysis and interpretation of field traffic studies and observational works of traffic behavior which form an essential part of theoretical/ sessional courses as well as research in the fields of traffic and transportation engineering, both at undergraduate and postgraduate levels. It also facilitates detail geometric design of road links, bridge approaches, intersections, signals, modelling for the study of traffic and pedestrian behavior, synthesis of alternative traffic schemes. This laboratory is being equipped further with modern tools such as GIS, remote sensing technology, computerized traffic signaling, video image processing and devices for measuring and monitoring the road environment.
