Improving West Corridor Design

(Complete Item Description)

Abstract:: This lesson uses the FasTracks Living Lab, a web portal to interactive train (transit) traffic data for a major metropolitan city. In this lesson, students will first evaluate whether a particular section of the transit system is functioning in an efficient manner and whether it is meeting design requirements. Then, students will suggest design improvements and evaluate whether they make a positive impact on the performance of the transit system. Throughout this lesson, students will work with real-world data, prepare and interpret graphs, analyze various scenarios, and develop creative solutions to existing problems. Your students will need access to computers and the Internet to complete this lesson.
