Learning outcomes of the course unit

The aim of the course is to familiarize students with the principles of road and urban transport engineering and public transport, with the design principles of the design and layout of roads and possible impacts of urban transport on the environment urbanized areas.
Vehicles, vehicle movement geometry, theory of traffic flow.

Prerequisites

PC work, excellent knowledge of at least one of the CAD software and a software for the design of roads

Co-requisites

MEMO reading a magazine (magazine dealing with urban mobility)

Planned learning activities and teaching methods

The course is taught through lectures, practical classes and self-study assignments. Attendance at lectures is optional, but attendance at classes is compulsory.

Assesment methods and criteria linked to learning outcomes

This is the time where they Mestno communication and network design particularly urban perspective. Evaluation criterion is the ability of existing or proposed buildings and areas of transport serve. Suggest a street space that will serve all the required needs. Testing this skill will enter at one particular place where it is necessary to design transport serving.
