Surveying/ Transportation Laboratory

The Surveying and Transportation Laboratories provides students with hands-on experience to supplement instruction in the undergraduate surveying and transportation courses. For both the survey and transportation course, the students are brought out to the field to conduct data collection, which will be used for laboratory analysis.  The laboratory is equipped with five level packages including automatic levels with 16 feet long fiberglass level rods and data collector, one digital level package with accompanying software used for elevation measurements, and five extended range reflectorless survey stations with on board memory, laser plummet and standard on board programs, and ten all-in-one prism sets. The laboratory computers are equipped with AutoCAD Civil 3D to incorporate survey field shots to develop 3D surface models and produce horizontal/vertical roadway designs. For designing, modeling, and simulating roadway designs, the laboratory computers are also equipped with ArcMAP GIS (macro-scopic data analysis), Synchro (macroscopic modeling and simulation), and VISSIM (microscopic modeling and simulation) software.  In addition to the design software, the laboratory provides students access to two New Jersey test corridors equipped with CENTRACS, a centralized traffic signal management software.  The laboratory is also equipped with a NEMA traffic signal control bench tester, 2-high resolution traffic signal controllers, and 4-ASC/2 low resolution traffic signal controllers for demonstration and study. The college is also part of the I-95 Consortium, thus providing students with access to over 63,000 real-time anonymous probe vehicle data points throughout New Jersey.  Students also have access to 132 New Jersey Bluetooth anonymous probe vehicle data collection devices. To process the probe vehicle data for classroom exercises, a PowerEdge T320 server with 4TB of storage is utilized for student use.
