13. Prerequisites  
14. Description of lectures
This subject gives a state-of-the-art introduction to road traffic automation and control. Students become familiar with the basic notions and theories, and get acquainted with the hardware/software architectures of road traffic control systems. Traffic detection technologies, road traffic controllers, as well as traffic control centers and monitoring systems are introduced. An introduction to the traffic modeling and traffic control theories are also provided. The students practice the basics of the traffic modeling through Matlab/Simulink and SUMO traffic simulator.
15. Description of practices
 
16. Description of labortory practices
Computer lab practices: micro. and macroscopic traffic modeling (MATLAB, SUMO).
Laboratory exercises: estimation of road parameters (smoothing, Recursive Least Square Estimator, Kalman Filter, MHE), model based control design (PID, LQ, MPC).
17. Learning outcomes
A. Knowledge

  • knows the management solutions of public transport and highway systems
B. Skills
  • capable of modeling traffic on a given network
  • is able to control a given subnet
  • is able to use and design a form for measuring and estimating systems
C. Attitudes

18. Requirements, way to determine a grade (obtain a signature)
Requirements: successful completion (min. 50%) of the midterm and submission of one homework. Weights of requirements in the mid-term grade: homework (1/3), midterm (2/3).
19. Opportunity for repeat/retake and delayed completion
There is a retake option for the midterm and the homework can resubmitted upon request till the end of delayed completion period.
