Objectives and competences
Aims and goals / objectives of the subject are:
– recognition of the basic elements and principles of the traffic infrastructure in urban areas
– acquaintance with basic elements for design of the traffic infrastructure in urban areas
– recognition of the methods and procedures about planning, design and construction of the traffic infrastructure in urban areas
