Students will need to research information via the Internet. Houston Area Real-Time Traffic Report Students will calculate the time needed to travel a certain distance given the rate of speed. This is an ongoing project. Over a period of one week, one month, and one school year, traffic patterns will be studied at various times of the day. At the completion of this study students will write a report and send their results via email to the Greater Houston Transportation and Emergency Management Center.
Students also have an opportunity to volunteer to collect travel data on major Houston freeways.
