Qualification objectives

The student knows the fundamentals of vehicle kinematics and dynamics and the influence of the design parameters. The student has an overview of the main guidelines for the highway design and can use the methodology for the checking process of the three – dimensional alignment. They have the theoretical knowledge and practical experiences of the 3D modelling for the geometric design by using simulation and visualization technologies. The student knows the driver – vehicle – road interaction system and can apply the driving simulation for the re-planning process of existing highway with a high accident rate.
