learning outcomes
- the student is familiar with individual transport systems;
- the student is familiar with individual transport systems;
Know the possible ways of dealing with intersections, traffic problems and public transport in conurbations. Part of the course is to familiarize with and work with the corresponding software that enables this simulation, including case studies and graphical outputs. Completing the course will enable students to gain an overview of transport systems, traffic problems, mass operation theory and at the same time learn how to work with AF CityPlan software.
