Objectives and competences

The objective of this course is: - students should know all kind of intelligent transportation services including traveler information systems, - students should understand the physical and technological background of traffic detectors, sensors and other ITS equipment.

Content (Syllabus outline)

Chapters from applied telematics: Functional definitions: detection, classification (AVC), identification (AVI), location (AVL), tracking, navigation, electronic ticketing (ETS), e-payment, environmental monitoring and controlling. State of the art review of enabling and supporting technologies in (road) transport: induction detectors, technologies for weight in motion, IR detectors, magnetometers, microwave radars, laser techniques, RF technologies image processing, GPS/GSM tracing and navigation etc. Contactless technologies, electronic toll collection (ETC), Case studies – integrated systems. Practical work – software for GIS, Video image processing. Field work – use of measurement equipment.

Learning and teaching methods

Lectures Laboratory practice with SW and Hardware (GPS, radar etc.)

Intended learning outcomes - knowledge and understanding

To use the information and telematics technologies in the transportation planning, management, contolling praxis.

Intended learning outcomes - transferable/key skills and other attributes

GIS technology (general skills) Information and telematics technology are a basis for all subjects/contents (such as integrated urban traffic planning and management, transportation policy enforcement, environmental monitoring and controlling etc.)
