  • Introduction

    Studiet gjennomføres på deltid over ett semester. Undervisningen består av forelesninger, diskusjoner, veiledning, selvstudier og praktisk arbeid. Undervisningen er lagt opp med 3-5 samlinger i semesteret. Studiet omfatter om lag 350 arbeidstimer for studenten. Av disse er omtrent 70 timer undervisning og veiledning med lærere på samlinger.

    I vurdering av oppgaver underveis tar en sikte på å øve opp studentenes evne til å reflektere over praktiske og teoretiske tilnærmingsmåter. Den endelige formelle vurderingen skjer ved eksamen.

  • Recommended preliminary courses

    None.

  • Required preliminary courses

    For å kunne framstille seg til eksamen må studenten ha følgende godkjente arbeidskrav og obligatorisk tilstedeværelse:

    Arbeidskrav:

    Det gis til sammen ett arbeidskrav:

    • Muntlig presentasjon av et undervisningsforløp til et valgfritt trinn eller aldersgruppe som studenten selv har utviklet ved bruk av relevant programvare/verktøy fra emnet. Utdanningsforløpet skal presenteres muntlig for medstudenter fysisk på campus, eller i et egnet digitalt medium, ledsaget for eksempel av powerpoint, video, eller andre presentasjonsformer. Presentasjonen skal dokumentere prosess og tenkt gjennomføring, samt inneholde refleksjoner rundt fagdidaktiske momenter knyttet til oppgaven.

    Obligatorisk tilstedeværelse i undervisningen

    Det er krav om minimum 80 prosent deltagelse i all organisert og timeplanlagt undervisning.

  • Learning outcomes

    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
  • Teaching and learning methods

    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.

  • Course requirements

    Two individual assignment must be approved.

    Students who fail to meet the coursework requirements can be given up to one re-submission opportunity.

  • Assessment

    1) Project report prepared in groups, approx. 15 - 20 pages (excl. appendices), weighted 70%.

    2) Oral presentation (in the project group) and examination of the project report, weighted 30%.

    Grading is individual, which means that grades may differ within each group. Both oral and written examinations can be presented/written in teams. To ensure that individual grading should be possible, each group of students will provide a written and signed statement in where each individual's contribution is clearly stated and explained.

    All assessment parts must be awarded a pass grade (E or better) to pass the course.

    Assessment parts: 1)can be appealed, 2) cannot be appealed
