Educational goal:

Acquiring knowledge in the field of traffic flows research and simulation (passenger flows, motor vehicle flows, bicycle flows, pedestrian flows, etc.). Designing models and algorithms in accordance with the characteristics of traffic flows on the road and street network. Applications of software for the simulation and research of traffic flow characteristics.

Educational outcome:

Application of acquired knowledge to research the impact of traffic flows in the diferent planning stages and design of transport networks. The results of the research are used to test the concrete solutions and effects of traffic policy ih the field of the design sustainable urban systems.
