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
