Verkehrsverhalten und Umweltauswirkungen

What it is about

You learn how traffic generates environmental impacts such as air pollutants, noise, energy consumption and contributions to climate change, and how sustainable transportation systems can address them. You also acquire methodological skills for describing and statistically analyzing traffic data (linear regression, logit models) and you understand interactions between land use and traffic.

What you will be able to do

Recognize environmentally relevant effects of traffic
Understand the origin and effects of traffic-related emissions
Know common vehicle emission standards and how they are measured
Understand the relationship between sound and noise as well as health effects
Understand causes and effects of global climate change
Recognize definitions and measures of a sustainable transport system
Describe fundamental theories of traffic behavior
Describe interactions between land use and traffic
Understand rules for estimating linear regressions and logit models
Independent application of linear regressions and logit models to traffic behavior questions

Assessment

Written examWritten testProject workReportPresentationOral examPortfolioListening comprehension

A 120-minute written exam without aids. You must demonstrate that you understand the environmentally relevant effects of traffic, the origin and effects of emissions, measurement and limitation standards, as well as traffic's contributions to climate change and resource use. In addition, knowledge on describing traffic data, basics of traffic behavior, and the application rules for multiple regression and logit models will be assessed.
