After successful completion of the module "Traffic simulation" students are able to analyze complex relationships in various transport systems with the help of simulation methods.

They can model, reproduce and forecast corresponding effects with software tools and have insights in the underlying models and theories.

Especially, they know the most important models and methods for macroscopic and microscopic traffic simulation and are able to develop their own simulation models as well as to extract and interpret the appropriate results.

Based on solid mathematical and statistical foundations, students gain insight in the basic principles, advantages, but also limits of traffic simulation methods.
