How well do you know the grad Students :)
100

The three traffic flow quantities

What is flow, density, and speed?

100

The two most common measurements of a transit system. A good transit system should improve BOTH of these.

What is Access and Mobility?

100

The organization founded in 1914 with the single-minded system of designing for vehicles.

What is AASHTO?

100

Lives, owns, operates, breathes farming

Who is Olin green?

200

This measurement of speed is observed at a point in space over time

What is time mean speed?

200

The urban planning and design strategy that focuses on developing communities around public transportation hubs.

What is Transit Oriented Design (TOD)?

200

The AASHTO defined speed at which drivers are observed operating their vehicles during free-flow conditions 

What is operating speed?

200

These two grad students have gone to the same school (not UConn).

Who is Sophiya and Manmohan?

300

The reference for traffic control color, shape, placement, etc.

What is the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices MUTCD?

300

The aggregation of a larger network into study areas.

What is Transit Analysis Zone (TAZ)?

300

The speed engineers want drivers to actually travel based on safety, road context, and surrounding area.

What is target speed?

300

The grad student who plays guitar, like music, and has even attended the same concert as their advisor.

Who is Devin Rhoads?

400

The situation when a driver is unsure whether to stop or continue through the intersection with a yellow light. 

What is the dilemma zone?

400

The first step of the 4-step travel forecasting model.

What is Trip Generation?

400

A selected speed used to determine the various geometric design features of the roadway

What is Design Speed?

400

The grad student who is advised by both Dr. Ivan and Dr. Fakhrmoosavi 

Who is Sepehr?

500

The criteria used to evaluate the performance of traffic flow on a roadway or intersection (A-F)

What is Level of Service?

500

The concept in network analysis when routes are assigned to minimize the total travel time for all users in the network.

What is System Optimal?

500

The proportion of traffic volume or flow in each direction of a roadway. This helps engineers understand how the traffic is split between inbound and outbound directions.

What is Directional Distribution?

500

The grad student who really wants to increase your involvement in ITE.

Who is Quinn?
