(06 -
S0434) Basic Information
Course specification
Course is active from 01.10.2007.. Acquiring knowledge in traffic signalization, traffic equipment, and methodical procedures and measures applied in traffic regulation engineering. Acquiring knowledge in multidisciplinarity and complexity of traffic regulation processes, normative acts, regulation books and other conditions which need to be fulfilled when performing and applying regulation measures in practice. Acquiring practical knowledge in the procedures utilized in the traffic regulation engineering in dependence on the functional properties of road and street network, traffic safety, flow demands and service level design. Enabling students in the application of acquired knowledge in solving specific problems related to traffic regulation in road and street networks. Students are able, following the normative acts and procedures, to apply different measures and technical solutions to create conditions for safer traffic flow, traffic regime changes and the improvement of traffic flow conditions and service level. Introduction to traffic regulation. Historical development and normative acts. Traffic signalization and equipment. Horizontal signalization. Vertical signalization. Light signalization. Traffic control in road and street network. Signalization and equipment for traffic control in road and street network. Road equipment. Techniques for traffic regulation in street and road network. Traffic regulation on non-urban road segments. Traffic regulation on cross-sections and intersections. Traffic control with light signalization. Signal plan elements. Traffic regulation using traffic lights at intersections. Lectures, auditory and computing practice. At the course, students should complete a seminar paper in order to apply the acquired knowledge in solving practical problems. On passing two partial examinations, students will not need to take the practical - computing part of the examination.
