This course aims to acquaint students with the principles and methods of Traffic Engineering.
At the end of the semester, students should:
a) be capable of understanding and developing applications
b) be capable of applying their knowledge to solve problems and new situations in various contexts.
c) be capable of incorporating knowledge, dealing with complex situations with lack of information. They should also take into account their ethic and social responsibilities.
d) be capable of communicating their conclusions unambiguously.
e) a long-life learning in a self-oriented and autonomous way.

DEMONSTRATION OF THE SYLLABUS COHERENCE WITH THE CURRICULAR UNIT'S OBJECTIVES:
This curricular unit is a continuation of Traffic and Transports 1 particularly addressing the issues related to mobility, accessibility and transport. The quality of life is, to some extent, related to their access to goods and services and ensuring the accessibility of sites is a dominant concern for the policy makers. These are complex systems, with interventions at different levels and that require technicians with technical and scientific background that may be able to competently deal with various problems.
Selection of themes to theoretical and theoretical-practical classes Application
DEMONSTRATION OF THE COHERENCE BETWEEN THE TEACHING METHODOLOGIES AND THE LEARNING OUTCOMES:
Know how to apply their knowledge and comprehension and problem solving in new situations and unfamiliar wide multidisciplinary contexts. Analyze solutions using selected performance indicators. Comparatively evaluate various options. Being able to communicate their conclusions and the knowledge and reasoning behind them, both to specialists or non specialists, in a clear and unambiguous manner. Prepare summary reports of the proposed solutions. Criticizing the methodologies and concepts used and recommend future adjustments. Devise effective solutions to real problems. Deal with official statistical information.
