Road Traffic Engineering

Road traffic is an important factor for the world's economy. There is an increasing lack of space for road expansion. Intelligent transport systems are necessary to keep the traffic flowing. There is a need for big data communication exchange not only between vehicles themselves but also between infrastructure and drivers and infrastructure and vehicles. However, intelligent highway designs and accurate assessments of the traffic infrastructures are required before this can happen and autonomous driving can become a reality. Accepting the need for road planning also plays an important role in implementing plans. More and more international road planning projects require experts who are able to speak foreign languages. With our integrated international programme Road Traffic Engineering (forthcoming double degree programme with the Czech Technical University in Prague), we want to educate and train engineers who can design and operate the road transport systems of the future.
