B.Sc. Environmental Engineering:
Supplementary module "Fundamentals of Transport" (PO 2008)
Compulsory module "Fundamentals Transport" (PO 2014)

Qualification goal, teaching content:

With the aim of mastering basic planning steps, the essential methods used in transportation are demonstrated. Furthermore, the basics of the functioning and structure of traffic engineering systems including the theoretical background of traffic flow are presented. This is followed by the teaching of basic knowledge and skills for the design of road traffic facilities as well as the fundamentals of road construction.

M.Sc. Civil Engineering:
Elective module "Traffic Engineering II" (PO 2008 and PO 2014) 
M.Sc. Environmental Engineering:
Focus module "Traffic Engineering II" (PO 2008)
Elective module "Traffic Engineering II" (PO 2014)

Qualification goal, teaching content:
In this module, students are provided with in-depth knowledge of the functional, technical and organizational possibilities of collectively influencing road traffic. After successful participation in the course "Collective Guidance Systems" they are able to classify the principles of traffic control and to accompany their traffic engineering implementation accordingly on the basis of relevant guidelines. The course "Traffic Simulation" enables the students to use microscopic modeling and simulation of traffic flows as a tool for the evaluation of traffic control and guidance measures. They demonstrate the acquired knowledge and skills by means of a simulation-based design of traffic-dependent light signal systems.

M.Sc. Civil Engineering | M.Sc. Environmental Engineering:
Elective module "Telematics-supported passenger and freight transport" (PO 2008 and PO 2014)

Qualification goal, teaching content:
The module provides students with a broad understanding of the technical-organizational management of transport and traffic with special emphasis on the planning, management, realization and control of freight flows. In the lecture "Transport Logistics" the students deal with the system theoretical basics of logistic processes and with their implementation possibilities on different modes of transport. In addition, they learn the principles of information-technical support of goods flows and the technological possibilities for this. The lecture "Individual Control Systems" in turn provides in-depth knowledge of modern information and communication technologies for influencing road traffic and for fleet management in freight transport. Opportunities and challenges of these telematics technologies in transportation are discussed.
