BSc Courses

The staff of the laboratory takes part in the BSc programme of Transportation Engineering offered by the Faculty of Transportation Engineering. 

 

Road Traffic Control I.
This subject gives an introduction to road traffic automation and control. Students become familiar with the basic notions and theories, and get acquainted with the hardware architectures of road traffic control systems. Traffic detection technologies, signal automation, road traffic controllers, variable message sign technology as well as traffic control centers and monitoring systems are introduced. During the semester, the students visit the Budapest Traffic Control Center and industrial companies related to road traffic control.


Road Traffic Control II.
Based on the knowledges of the previous course (Road Traffic Control I.), more complex principles are highlighted in this course. An introduction to the control theories related to traffic control systems is provided. The hardwares and softwares provided by the laboratory are introduced and exercised. The students practice the basics of the traffic controller programming in JAVA, the application of the VISSIM software, and PLC programming.

 

​MSc Courses

The following courses are parts of the specialization 'Transport Automation' in the master programme 'Transportation Engineering'.
