Code 227-0504
Abbreviation MKK
Course title Urban Roads and Intersections
Coordinating department Department of Transport Constructions
Course coordinator Ing. David Mácha, Ph.D.

Summary

Students acquaint with designing of traffic structures in terms of towns and communities, with street space form and with creation of conditions for coexistence of track, motor, biking and pedestrian traffic. Teaching is aimed on solution of dynamic and static traffic in towns. Part of object is problems of cross-roads designing with emphasis on solution of junctions controlled by traffic light.

Learning outcomes:
- Design transport structures in the conditions of cities and municipalities with regard to street space.
- Integrate individual modes of transport (rail, motor, bicycle, pedestrian).
- Solve dynamic and static transport in the urban environment.
- Design and assess light-controlled level crossings.
- Place technical infrastructure in the area of local roads.
