| Kurzbeschreibung | Fundamentals of traffic flow theory and control. | ||||
| Lernziel | The objective of this course is to fully understand the fundamentals of traffic flow theory in order to effectively manage traffic operations. By the end of this course students should be able to apply basic techniques to model different aspects of urban and inter-urban traffic performance, including congestion. | ||||
| Inhalt | Introduction to fundamentals of traffic flow theory and control. Includes understanding of traffic data collection and processing techniques, as well as data analysis, traffic modeling, and methodologies for traffic control. | ||||
| Skript | The lecture notes and additional handouts will be provided during the lectures. | ||||
| Literatur | Additional literature recommendations will be provided during the lectures. | ||||
| Voraussetzungen / Besonderes | Verkehr III - Road Transport Systems 6th Sem. BSc (101-0415-00L) Special permission from the instructor can be requested if the student has not taken Verkehr III | ||||

| Kurzbeschreibung | History, impact and principles of the design and operation of transport systems | ||||
| Lernziel | Introduction of the basic principles of the design and operation of transport systems (road, rail, air) and of the essential pathways of their impacts (investment, generalised costs, accessibilities, external effects), referring to relatively constant, and factors with substantial future uncertainty, in the past and expected evolution of transport systems. | ||||
| Inhalt | Transport systems and land use; network design; fundamental model of mobility behaviour; costs and benefits of mobility; transport history Classification of public transport systems; Characteristics of rail systems, bus systems, cable cars and funiculars, unconventional systems; introduction to logistics; fundamentals of rail freight transports; freight transport systems; intermodal transportation Network layout and its impact on road traffic. Traffic control systems for urban and inter-urban areas. Fundamentals of road safety and infrastructure maintenance. | ||||
| Skript | Lecturer notes and slides as well as hints to further literature will be given during the course. | ||||
| Voraussetzungen / Besonderes | Obligatory lecture for students of the first semester of MSc Spatial development and Infrastructure Systems. | ||||
