SMUA4200 Traffic Engineering and Intelligent Transport Systems Course description

There is a 100% overlap With the course ZDT3 Drama and Theatre Communication - Acting With Masks.

None.

No formal requirements over and above the admission requirements.

After completing the course, the student is expected to have achieved the following learning outcomes defined in terms of knowledge, skills, and general competence:

Knowledge:

Upon successful completion of the course, the student will achieve knowledge about:

• terminology and models for traffic flow
• driver behavior and advanced vehicle control models
• advanced sensing technologies
• intelligent transport system operation and management

Skills:

Upon successful completion of the course, the student is capable of:

• understanding and applying the proper knowledge and method to collect, process, and analyze traffic data
• using proper knowledge to investigate the impact of connected and/or autonomous vehicle on the transportation system
• choosing appropriate method to estimate traffic status and provide corresponding Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) solutions
• making use of approved terminology and standardization within ITS
• making use of transport simulation software (AIMSUN or SUMO)

General competence: 

Upon successful completion of the course, the student:  

• has deep insight into the transport engineering and intelligent transport system areas and will be able to transform theoretical knowledge into practice in different real-world conditions 
• is able to explain the impacts of new technologies on the intelligent transportation system
• is able to solve ITS-related problems and provide reasonable explanations of the results

This course will consist of lectures, one seminar (includes invited lecturers, discussions and presentations), and lab sessions to provide theoretical content and preliminary hands-on experience. The students will also be given a group project during the semester.
