Would you like to help shape the mobility transition through engineering solutions and intelligent transport systems? The Bachelor’s degree in Smart Transport Systems is the perfect way to prepare you for this!
Why study Smart Transport Systems?
For the mobility transition to succeed, we need digital, intelligent and connected transport and logistics solutions. With the Smart Transport Systems degree programme – Intelligent Transport Systems – you can help shape sustainable mobility on roads and railways. Using modern communication systems and digitalisation methods, transport systems on the road and, in particular, on the railways can be made significantly more efficient and effective. In short: simply smart!
What can you expect from the degree programme?
You’ll explore all the aspects that are important for modern transport systems for passenger and freight transport by rail and road:
- IT and digitalisation as the foundation for smart transport systems
- Modern rail transport: rail vehicle technology, digital (highly) automated train operations, rail infrastructure, control and signalling technology, operational procedures and much more
- Smart roads: autonomous driving and vehicle connectivity
- Electromobility: propulsion concepts for road (electric cars, charging infrastructure) and rail (e.g. battery-electric multiple units, catenary systems)
- Traffic optimisation: Avoiding congestion, managing digital rail operations and making mobility more efficient
The degree programme combines engineering, computer science and mobility – whilst remaining practice-oriented and focused on current developments.
