| Course description: Systematic definition and engineering traffic concept. Relationships between traffic, transport and system of activities.
Fundamental traffic equations. Transport demand and transport matrix. Complementarity of physical and virtual mobility. Basic
traffic concepts independent of traffic branch: entity flow, headway, traffic and transport speed, space-time diagram, delay,
safety etc. Traffic measurements. Determining traffic representation. Traffic volume and level of service. Capacity of nodes,
links and network. Internal traffic at terminals. Dynamic models for choosing destination mode, route and time. General traffic
management models. Reengineering traffic system by intelligent transport systems. Determining transport demand and transport
mode. Explaining and applying general traffic equation. Analyzing main traffic indicators and their resolution with examples.
Expected values and variations of traffic. Applying rational modelling in transport mode choice. Applications of multi-phase
modelling for determining destination, mode, route and time.
