About the Department

The Department of Traffic Engineering was formed by merging of:

- TRANSPORTATION PLANNING DIVISION;
- TRAFFIC CONTROL AND MANAGEMENT DIVISION;
- THEORY OF TRAFFIC FLOW, CAPACITY, EVAULATION DIVISION
- ROADS DIVISION

Transport engineering and traffic engineering
	According to the modern definitions, Transport Engineering deals with the application of technical and scientific principles in planning, functional design, management and organization of potentials of any mode of transport with the goal to provide safe, fast, efficient, comfortable, acceptable, cost-effective and environmentally friendly transport.  Traffic engineering may be defined as a phase in engineering which deals with application of technical and scientific principles with the goal to enable efficient, environmentally acceptable, economically feasible and safe movement of people and goods across street and road network.
Which core areas are studied at the Department of Traffic Engineering?
	1. Transportation planning  2. Traffic management and control  3. Traffic design  4. Traffic flow theory, capacity and evaluation  5. Road management and operation  Professional subjects studied at the Traffic Division mostly derive from the following core areas
Which subjects among (specified) core areas are studied (may be studied) at the Traffic Division?
	Transportation planning – analysis of transport demands  Transportation planning – modelling and forecasts  Transportation planning –- strategies and tactics  GIS in traffic and transport Traffic control Traffic management Intelligent traffic systems  Traffic design – urban network  Traffic design – rural network Management of network quality and traffic equipment Traffic flow theory Capacity Traffic evaluation Basics of streets and roads Road operation and management Project management Utility engineering
Why is traffic engineering specifically separated and studied?
	Because between 60 % and 80% of all movement of people and goods is performed on the street and road network
