Purpose of lecture

The advanced topic is given by a visiting professor in English.
The aim of the course is to introduce concepts and techniques used in the analysis of transport and traffic movement. Further, to provide the student fundamental knowledge on transport planning theory and processes, as well as knowledge and understanding of the basic principles and practice of urban traffic and transport management.
