4. Initiatives: Undergraduate Education ITSO - Interdisciplinary Transportation Student Organization STREET project: Simulating Transportation for Realistic Engineering Education and Training. (supported by NSF, Digital Media Center, ITS Institute)

5. STREET Curriculum Objectives To develop and refine a suite of web-based simulation modules that can be easily incorporated in the undergraduate transportation courses. To develop and refine a suite of web-based simulation modules that can be easily incorporated in the undergraduate transportation courses. The simulation-based teaching material will become an “active textbook”, which offers an interactive learning environment to students.

6. STREET Components ROAD: Roadway Online Application for Design ROAD: Roadway Online Application for Design ADAM: Agent-based Demand and Assignment Model ADAM: Agent-based Demand and Assignment Model SOFT: Simulation of Freeway Traffic SOFT: Simulation of Freeway Traffic SONG: Simulator of Network Growth SONG: Simulator of Network Growth OASIS: Online Application of Signalized Intersection Simulation OASIS: Online Application of Signalized Intersection Simulation wikibook Fundamentals of Transportation wikibook Fundamentals of Transportation

7. ROAD To provide students with a web-based design tool that they can perform roadway geometry design from a broader perspective. To better understand roadway geometry design process and its challenges. To enrich students’ learning experience in roadway geometry design.

8. ADAM To provide platform for students to learn travel behavior, travel demand modeling and be able to test and evaluate alternative network designs. Evaluation Criteria: Understanding of travel demand modeling process Stimulating new ways of thinking about the travel demand modeling beyond the traditional procedures Developing problem-solving skills and judgment in infrastructure investment decision-making

9. SONG To support the learning of the transportation network development process To support the learning of the transportation network development process Allow users to adjust different parameters and test the effects of these factors on the resulting network forms Allow users to adjust different parameters and test the effects of these factors on the resulting network forms Allow students to visualize speeds or volumes on network links represented by different colors and thickness of the links. Allow students to visualize speeds or volumes on network links represented by different colors and thickness of the links.

10. OASIS To help students better understand actuated signal control logic. To enrich students’ learning experience in intersection signal timing and control.
