Verkehrsdaten - Erfassung und Analyse

What it is about

You will learn methods of traffic data collection (stationary, vehicle-based, segment-based) and apply them practically. The aim is to extract, preprocess, visualize, and interpret relevant macro- and micro-traffic parameters from recorded raw data.

What you will be able to do

• Understand common types of traffic data collection
• Capture data of flowing multimodal traffic
• Clean and preprocess raw data
• Understand methods for data analysis
• Develop own code for data analysis
• Visualize traffic situations purposefully
• Interpret results and present them in writing
• Present methodology and results to a specialist audience and defend them

What the module consists of

• VorlesungenDelivery of the theoretical background of traffic data collection
• Praktische InputsessionsExplanation of how selected data collection devices work
• Seminare/Exkursionen/ProjektarbeitIndependent data collection, analysis and discussion of the methods
