Summary
The subject in the first part deals with various intelligent transport systems. This particular collection,
traffic-engineering data on various kinds of telematic systems in areas traffic and travel information, public transport, freight transport, electronic charging, parking systems, geographic data, navigation systems, dedicated short range, road vehicles, vehicle systems, automatic identification of traffic accidents. In the second part the subject deals with complex issues of the system (central), traffic management, especially in larger agglomerations. Students will acquire knowledge on the spot, group and line management and traffic coordination (green wave). They will gain practical experience in the central traffic control in selected cities and will deal with the issue of preference of public transport.
Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit
Completing the course students acquire knowledge about different types of telematics systems in the areas of traffic and travel information, public transport, cargo transport, electronic charging, parking systems, geographical data, navigation systems, dedicated short range, road vehicles, vehicle systems, automatic identification, e-Safety. Next goal is to acquire knowledge on the spot, group and line management and traffic coordination (green wave). They will gain practical experience in the central traffic control in selected cities and will deal with the issue of preferences into account public transport and traffic barrier-free buildings.
