Intelligent Transport Systems
The global passenger and freight transportation industry – the circulatory system of our civilization – is expanding at a faster rate than virtually all other economic sectors which creates new technological, ecological and social demands almost every day. Whether for traffic management in the traditional sense or for high-tech developments like eMobility, traffic information systems, satellite navigation, road pricing, section control or eTicketing, our current and future mobility requirements can only be met by intelligent, environmentally friendly, secure and efficient management and control applications. This can only be achieved using state-of-the-art telematics that combines telecommunication, information and sensor technologies and includes environmental and sustainability issues.
Everything moves
UAS Technikum Wien has responded to this situation and introduced a degree program that is unique in Europe in terms of the subjects offered and its objectives. The Intelligent Transport Systems bachelor’s degree program makes the future an exciting reality. Our students, who study in an international environment and are involved in global projects, receive training that makes them highly sought-after telematics specialists. They are ready to overcome the challenges of the field with innovative holistic approaches enabling a balance between environmental and technological requirements.
What are Intelligent Transport Systems?
Intelligent Transport Systems integrate telecommunications, electronics and information technologies – in short: telematics – with transport engineering in order to plan, design, operate, maintain and manage transport systems. This integration aims to improve safety, security, quality and efficiency of the transport systems for passengers and freight, optimising the use of natural resources and respecting the environment by reducing pollution caused by transport. To achieve such aims, ITS require procedures, systems and devices to allow the collection, communication, analysis and distribution of information and data among moving subjects, the transport infrastructure and information technology applications. ITS improve the safety of our roads, decrease journey times and encourage multimodal transport use, while at the same time alleviating the impact of transport on the environment and improving the quality of everyone’s life. ITS is therefore vitally important for managing our future transport systems effectively and sustainably. These techno-logies, including a smooth transition to electromobility, will deliver a substantial contribution towards achieving the Kyoto-goals of reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
