Entwurf von Verkehrswegen

What it is about

You will learn the kinematic and dynamic properties of road and rail vehicles as well as their interaction with the track. On this basis you apply design principles for infrastructure and you can independently provide proofs and create and evaluate designs for road and rail facilities.

What you will be able to do

• Understand the kinematics and dynamics of road and rail vehicles
• Assess vehicle-track interaction
• Derive requirements for track and track quality
• Apply design basics for track systems, switches and stations
• Plan the line guidance of roads and railways
• Use computer-aided design of traffic infrastructure
• Consider train protection and signaling systems

What the module consists of

• LectureConveying the professional fundamentals on vehicle dynamics, track and design
• Computer exercises in the CIP poolDeepening of the lecture material and practical application on the PC

Teaching method

• PowerPoint lectureStructured presentation of the content and integration of films
• Films in the presentationsIllustration of dynamic relationships
• PC exercises in the CIP poolEnabling practical deepening and computer-assisted design
