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 on applied telematics:
Functional definition: detection, classification, identification, location, tracking, navigation, working with travel documents, payment systems, observation and measurement of conditions in the transport system and its environment.
Overview of technologies for implementing basic telematics functions in transport: Induction loops, pressure and electromechanical sensors, infrared detectors, light beams and light curtains, radar, RF technologies, GPS/GSM technologies for location, tracking. Information systems and guidance systems (traveller information systems, route and parking guidance systems), electronic toll collection, automatic accident detection, weather information systems
