Objectives and competences
To inform students with advanced methods for dimensioning of traffic areas outside and inside urban areas and with up-to-date, computer based methods for dimensioning the traffic areas.
Intended learning outcomes - knowledge and understanding
Knowledge and understanding of procedures for dimensioning of traffic areas, Usage the computer based tools in the engineering problems
Intended learning outcomes - transferable/key skills and other attributes
usage the computer in engineering, understanding the methodologies of dimensioning of traffic areas as a key element in the process of designing of road traffic infrastructure
Learning and teaching methods
Lectures and exercises are foreseen, where theoretically gained knowledge strengthens on concrete instances. Students in frame of exercises finish also seminar paper, that he comprises fieldwork and analysis of concrete realistic example.
