M.Sc. Road Traffic Engineering

Road Traffic Engineering at West Saxon University of Applied Sciences Zwickau is an integrated international double-degree Master of Science, full time over four semesters (120 ECTS), starting in the winter semester. All compulsory courses and most electives are taught in English. It trains engineers to design and operate the road transport systems of the future, which need intelligent transport systems and data exchange between infrastructure, drivers and vehicles, based on intelligent highway design and infrastructure assessment. In the first three semesters you take lectures, practical work and projects on intelligent road transport systems, traffic flow optimisation, vehicle-road and vehicle-vehicle interaction, planning and designing road traffic facilities, traffic simulation, languages and intercultural skills. In the fourth semester you write an 18-week Master's thesis with research, at home or abroad, mainly with a company or organisation, with access to the university labs. It suits engineers interested in international road planning projects.
