The "Traffic and Transport Planning" course in the Master's in Urban and Regional Planning (MURP) at Dr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam Technical University (AKTU) under the Faculty of Architecture and Planning (FOAP) likely focuses on several key topics:

1. Fundamentals of Traffic and Transport Planning: This includes understanding the relationship between land use and transportation, transportation systems, and how traffic demand is generated and distributed.

2. Traffic Flow and Control: Analysis of traffic flow theories, traffic signal design, intersection control, and traffic management techniques.

3. Urban Transportation Systems: Studying various modes of urban transportation, public transit planning, and integrating transportation within the urban fabric.

4. Sustainable and Smart Mobility: Emphasis on sustainable transport, non-motorized transport options, smart city mobility solutions, and reducing carbon footprints.

5. Transport Infrastructure: Planning and design of roads, highways, railways, airports, and their integration into regional planning frameworks.

6. Traffic Impact Analysis: Tools and methods for assessing traffic impacts of new developments, traffic modeling, and forecasting.

7. Transport Policies and Regulations: Overview of relevant transport policies, guidelines, and regulatory frameworks, both at the national and international levels.

The course equips students with skills to plan, design, and manage efficient and sustainable transport systems in urban and regional contexts.
