General information:

Category	Professional-applicative
Scientific or art field	Traffic Planning, Regulation and Safety
ECTS	6

Acquiring knowledge in designing traffic signals and equipment in the regulation of traffic on the road and street network. Students acquire knowledge of the elements of road and street networks, tools and methods used in the design of traffic signals and equipment on the road and street network. Also, students can transfer knowledge about modern procedures and systems for the regulation and management of traffic on road and street network.

Students are trained to respect the norms, standards and common procedures, applying lessons learned from this course, theory of traffic flow, traffic regulation, traffic planning and other areas to solve specific problems of safety, planning and regulation of traffic on road and street networks. In addition, students are trained for solving specific problems using modern solutions based on contemporary technical and technological advancements in computing and electronics.

Methods and procedures of technical regulations and traffic management. Project elements of road and street network. Designing horizontal and vertical road signs. Projecting signs at the entrances of intersections. Designing signs in the area of road works and temporary traffic regime changes. Design of light signals at isolated intersections. Design of light signals at coupled intersections. Designing a coordinated operation of light signals. Network coordination and management of traffic on road and street network.

Lectures, auditory and computational exercises. During this course, students are required to develop the project in which they solve practical problems. Practical computing-part of examination may be substituted by passing two partial examinations.
