Objectives and competences

Aims and goals / objectives of the subject are: - comprehension of the basic elements and principles of the traffic areas in urban environments - comprehension the basic elements for "safe" design of traffic areas in the cities - application methods and procedures about planning, design and construction of "safe" traffic areas in the urban environments - comprehension the procedures for traffic safe design of special infrastructural objects - tunnels

Content (Syllabus outline)

Issues about traffic in the city / urban traffic from traffic infrastructure point of view Systematic and structure classification traffic areas in urban surroundings Safety interdependence from intersections layout in road network Characteristics of the different types of traffic – motor vehicles, cyclists, pedestrians, public transport from infrastructure and traffic safety point of view Parking areas, parking management "Safe" landscape planning of traffic areas in urban environments Traffic signs and signals Lightening Special infrastructural objects - tunnels Technical characteristics of the tunnel Traffic safety in tunnels The principles of the design of road tunnels in terms of safety Theoretical basis: traffic safety / traffic flow Traffic accidents in tunnels Fire safety in the tunnel Rescue and helping plans for the tunnel Security systems in the tunnel Analysis of traffic safety in tunnels

Learning and teaching methods

- lectures - seminar - tutorial - field work

Intended learning outcomes - knowledge and understanding

After successful completion of the study unit students should be able to: - explain and classify the basic elements and principles of the traffic areas in urban environments - interpret the basic elements for "safe" design of traffic areas in the cities - apply methods and procedures about planning, design and construction of "safe" traffic areas in the urban environments - indicate and interpret the procedures for traffic safe design of special infrastructural objects - tunnels

Intended learning outcomes - transferable/key skills and other attributes

knowledge and applicable skills which are necessary for cooperating in processes of the design, construction and maintenance of the traffic areas in urban environments usage of software programs for defining practical solutions of the problems
