Traffic Engineering & Control

Since vehicles are normally driving on roads not alone but are part of traffic streams, it is useful to
have a basic understanding of the inherent dynamics of traffic flow and of the most typical traffic
control mechanisms. The course will provide this understanding by giving the theoretical
background and by using a state-of-the-art tool for traffic flow simulation.

Course Objective:

The participants

• gain knowledge of traffic flow systems and traffic control systems.
• understand the theory of State-of-the-Art tools for traffic flow simulation.
• gain competency for the implementation of capacity analysis for highways and centers of communication.
• learn and are able to apply the modeling of traffic infrastructure.
