Traffic Flow Dynamics and Simulation (Master) SS 2026


News

(2026-07-17) The last exam of Summer Semester 2025 has been added (see left panel "Past exams")

(2026-07-17) The lecture slides on stability analysis have been reorganized (now slides 12). The slides 01 to 12 are relevant, the slides 13 and 14 are not the topic of this year's exam.

(2026-07-17) Information on the examination is now available.

(2026-07-14) Due to an international conference, there will be no lecture or tutorial in presence in the last lecture week Jul 21 and Jul 22.

(2026_06_18) Next week (Jun 24 and Jun 25) and onwards, the lectures will again take place in presence (2026-04-08) Please register to the new learning group SS 2026 Traffic Dynamics serving for now as an e-mail list for central communication

(2026-04-08) The lecture slides are online. Their titles also serve as an overview of the tentative curriculum

(2026-04-08) Due to a conference, there will be no lectures/tutorials in presence on June 16 and 18, respectively. I refer to my Lecture and tutorials video channel, instead.

(2026-04-02) Since the tutorial is on Tue and the lecture on Wed, there will be no tutorial in the first lecture week (Apr. 14, 2026). The course starts with the lecture at 14:50 on Apr 16, 2026, lecture room POT 51.

(general) Many points of my lecture can be interactively simulated online at my simulator traffic-simulation.de

(general) The full curriculum is also included in the textbook Traffic flow dynamics, Second Edition (Springer, 2025, also available as an e-book). However, the material to be provided on this site will also cover the whole course (Also available in German: Treiber/Kesting, Verkehrsflussdynamik, Springer, 2010)

Examination

The examination will take place as a written test on Aug. 04 2026, 08:00h (not 07:30h) at the Potthoff building, POT Room 13. The examination takes 120 minutes and you can get a maximum of 120 points.
Notice: The exam language is English.

Preparation

All what is relevant are
  • the Lecture 01 to Lecture 12,
  • the lectures and tutorials on my video channel,
  • the written tutorials including solutions (see side panel),
  • the past exams including solutions (mixed English, German, see side panel).

Hints

It is probably a good idea to try understand all the in-slide questions ( orange "?" or text) and check the given answers ( green "!" or text).

What to bring:

  • Pocket calculator,
  • lecture notes,
  • tutorials including solutions,
  • (optionally) the textbook Traffic Flow Dynamics or Verkehrsdynamik und -simulation (German).
  • In contrast to most other exams, you are explicitley invited to bring your own cheat sheet. There is nothing more effective to prepare exams than writing cheat sheets!
Notice: The fact that you can essentially use anything (with the exception of your neighbor or the internet) does not necessarily mean that the exam will be a piece of cake [wird leicht sein]. It definitely will not be a simple "copy-and-paste" exercise.
