Learning outcomes of the course unit

A student acquires basic skills in problems of transport telematics in road, rail and air transport. He gets such good knowledge and skills to design and develop telematics applications in traffic control. He will learn modern methods of traffic control. These methods are based on the application of statistical models, fuzzy logic, neural networks and evolutionary strategies. The outputs are also practical examples of telematics applications in the Czech Republic.

Prerequisites

Common knowledge from transport, physics, mathematics and information technology.

Co-requisites

Common information from area parking systems, philosophy of public transport and integrated transport systems.
