Summary

The course introduces students to current trends in the field of traffic engineering and introduce new opportunities in the rapidly evolving field of transport modeling and dynamic traffic management in conditions of high traffic volumes. The focus is on practical solutions to traffic engineering problems using modern software applications. The inclusion of the subject is caused by a request for practice profile graduate Traffic construction and internal need to allow students to finish their part focused their theses in the exercises in this newly included subject.
