  1. Traffic Flow

  2. Traffic Flow • What is it? • Traffic flow is the study of interactions between vehicles, drivers, and infrastructure (including highways, signage, and traffic control devices)

  3. Issues with Traffic Flow • Stop signs • One-way traffic • No pedestrian walkways • Anything else?

  4. You are Engineers!! • Watch the video on traffic flow in India • Pay attention to how the cars are moving

  5. You are Engineers!! • What did you notice? • At your tables, discuss and draw how you would fix the traffic flow problem that you see • What could we add?

  6. Bryan Middle School • Have you ever noticed the traffic flow before and after school? • Video

  7. Your Mission… • 1st Week • As a class, we will decide on what kinds of data needs to be collected • In your groups, you will develop a hypothesis on mending the traffic flow problem in front of Bryan Middle School

  8. Your Mission… • 2nd Week • Data collection • Organize data as a class • Must have hypothesis drawn up and ready for simulations

  9. Your Mission… • 3rd Week • Watch the control simulation (Whats that??) • Watch each groups individual simulations according to their developed hypothesis • Decide as a class, which scenario is the best plan of action according to the result we are looking for

  10. 1st Week • What is our problem? What do we want to correct? • What data are we going to collect? Who is doing what? • In your groups, develop your hypothesis • Remember: We will meet outside next week

  11. 2nd Week • Meet Ms. Argo in front of building to collect your data • Put data together? How? • Finish hypothesis

  12. 3rd Week • Watch simulations • Decide on best plan of action
