More information about English language requirements SelectionThe selection is based on 20-285 creditsCourse Aim After completing the course participant should Knowledge and understanding • have knowledge about o basic traffic engineering concepts o the basics for dimensioning traffic systems for different types of traffic o traffic strategies for urban areas Competence and Skills • be able to o implement, apply and evaluate traffic strategy for urban areas o collaborate in groups with different compositions and present their results orally and in writing to colleagues Judgement and approach • have an understanding of holistic thinking about traffic technology in community building ContentsWork with traffic strategy for the urban area with the support of the handbook TRAST. Systematic literature survey based on scientific sources. Socio-economic calculations and capacity and accessibility at intersections. The course deals mainly with urban traffic; traffic outside the urban area is discussed briefly. The course covers: The city's character Travel and transport, where and why people travel Safety, availability and security Pedestrian traffic, cycle traffic, moped traffic Public transport Interchanges, railway stations Vehicular traffic Freight traffic and emergency traffic are dealt with in this course briefly, as part of vehicular traffic. The course begins with a theoretical work. Individual study questions used to quickly get into the literature. This is followed by project work and laboratory work on partly socio-economic calculations and partly capacity and accessibility at intersections. This is followed by field work and analysis, as well as individual literature studies. This work results in an individual written report to be presented and discussed.Realization The course includes lectures, seminars, laboratory work and field exercises / inventory. The course begins with lectures and seminars. The course trains oral / written presentation, project work, group work / collaboration, in work with open issues. The purpose of the project assignment is to give students the opportunity to work with traffic strategy for an urban area. Examination The course is examined with 80% participation in lectures and participation in oral presentations / seminars, participation in field exercises / inventory The learning objectives connected to: Knowledge and understanding are examined through individual written project assignments. Competence and skills are examined through written and oral group work. Judgment and approach is examined through individual written project assignments with differentiated grades. Mandatory attendance at lessons, oral presentations / seminars and field exercises / inventory. All included examination parts must be completed for the final grade on the course.
