Summary

The subject introduces students to current trends in the field of transport constructions and also in the field of traffic engineering. Students will acquaint with new types of interserctions and also with new opportunities in the field of transport modeling and dynamic traffic management in conditions of high traffic volumes. The inclusion of the subject is caused by a request for practice profile graduate and internal need to allow students to finish their part focused their theses in the exercises in this newly included subject.
