Traffic Flow Dynamics and Simulation (Master) SS 2025


News

(2025-07-19) Information on the examination is now available.

(2025-06-09) Due to lacking attendance, the lectures and tutorials will be purely virtual until further notice. The corresponding lecture notes will be published in due course and lecture videos are available as well (see side pane of this side).

(2025-05-19) There will be no lecture on Dies Academicus 21th of May 2025 (we are halfway through Lecture06)

(2025-04-30) Lecture status: Begin of Lecture04

(2025-04-03) In the Easter week 22th and 23th of April, there will be no tutorials/lectures in presence. The corresponding lecture is online at this Youtube link and the corresponding tutorial is Tutorial Nr. 2 (available as video and at the tutorial page).

(2025-04-02) Since the tutorial is on Tue and the lecture on Wed, there will be no tutorial in the first lecture week (Apr. 08, 2025). The course starts with the lecture at 14:50 on Apr 09, 2025, lecture room POT 51.

(2025-04-02) Please subscribe to the new learning group traffic dynamics SS 2025 serving for now as an e-mail list for central communication

(2025-03-31) The lecture slides are online. Their titles also serve as an overview of the tentative curriculum

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

(general) Starting with the summer semester 2020, this Master's course will be delivered in English. The German script will still be available. It becomes, however, more and more incomplete and obsolete as the course develops.

(general) The full curriculum is also included in the textbook Traffic flow dynamics (Springer, 2013, 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 Jul. 29, 13:00 at the Hörsaalzentrum, Room HSZ 304. 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

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. -->
