Traffic control at junctions, their coordination and RLTS on highways. Principles of control systems used in practice. Design of traffic lights and its capacity assessment. Software tools for traffic models and simulations. Hardware of control systems. Preference of public transport and solutions for displaying traffic information and variable message signs.
Objectives:
Students know the basic principles of traffic control at nodes, urban areas and highways and can design in. Students know the principles of traffic engineering and can work with parameters of traffic flow. They have an overview of the SW and HW tools of control systems and tools to enable their modeling. They are able to work with these tools.
