- Objective (expected results of study and acquired competences)
-
The aim of these lectures is to procure a basic understanding of the importance and needs of the non-motorized, environmentally-friendly modes of transport. The most important scientific aspects of pedestrian and cycle traffic are discussed. Students should develop the skills required to design appropriate facilities for pedestrians and cyclists. They should also be able to assess and optimize such facilities in terms of safety, functionality and efficiency.
