Applications of traffic measurements. Measurement at a point, road part or road network.
Fundamental relation of traffic flow. Computation of diagrams.
Traffic capability and level of service. Computations.
Traffic light operation. Determination of green light duration, phase resonance, saturation flow etc.
Parking places. Basic design rules and computations.
Introduction to other transportation networks like railways, airports, seaports.
Transportation systems, holistic approach to networks.
Transportation and applications of Geographic information Systems (GIS).
