Aim of the module
Students know the basics of control and automation technology and understand their concepts and processes.
They are able to apply this knowledge to transportation systems. They have the ability to understand the theoretical and technical-technological fundamentals of traffic telematics systems and to assess their practical applicability, also on the basis of experience gained to date.
Content of the module
Process automation in traffic telematics
Contents of the module are the basics of process automation and
their application in traffic telematics, in particular:
- Objectives and contents of traffic telematics,
- Introduction to traffic telematics systems,
- Structure of regulations and control systems,
- Essential concepts of dynamic systems,
- Properties of dynamic systems and methods for checking them,
- Modeling of the "traffic" system (in particular road traffic, public transport, rail traffic) as a controlled system,
- Techniques for systematic controller design in the time and frequency domain and intermodal and computer-integrated traffic control systems.
