Native organizations units: Department of Traffic Engineering

Type of studies	Title
Undergraduate Academic Studies	Traffic and Transport Engineering (Godina: 4, Summer)

General information:

Category	Professional-applicative
Scientific or art field	Traffic Planning, Regulation and Safety
Interdisciplinary	No
ECTS	5

Educational goal:

Acquiring knowledge on the practical capacity (flow ability) of all functional segments in the road networks and methods for its determination. Acquiring knowledge on the capacity analysis procedures and determining the flow volume in higher service levels, as well as the modes for dimensioning elements and functional network segments in accordance with the flow demands. Within the course, contemporary engineering procedures and software tools used in the capacity analysis procedures will be presented.

Educational outcome:

Acquiring knowledge for determining the capacity of the road functional elements and street network using modern engineering methods depending on the characteristics of the project elements and traffic flow. Mastering procedures for assessing the level of service on all functional parts of the road network in existing and projected conditions. The acquired knowledge is used in practice in the procedures of choosing the optimal project variant of the optimal corridor in the general project, i.e. the optimal route in the conceptual project, the evaluation procedure in the framework of previous feasibility studies, pre-feasibility and feasibility studies, the conceptual design and development of the investment program in the road networks, the environmental impact analysis, the selection of optimal paths in the field of traffic planning etc. The knowledge that students acquire within this subject constitute the necessary basis for other subjects in the field of the design of transport inf

Course content:

Introduction to the calculations of capacity and service level, highway capacity and service level, two-lane road capacity and service level, multi-lane road capacity and service level, one-direction crossroad capacity and service level, priority intersection capacity and service level, roundabout capacity and service level, signalized intersection capacity and service level, pedestrian and bicycle path capacity and service level.

Teaching methods:

Lectures, auditory and computing practice. During the course, students can take two partial examinations instead of practical – numerical part of the examination.
