Here is a short introduction to the content and schedule of the course.
Project explanation
This lecture gives a possibility to train the usage of Matlab in the field of traffic engineering with original raw data collected with detectors on the motorway A9 from Munich to Nuremberg. The raw data from an Excel table must be prepared for the usage with Matlab. Then the data must be read in and aggregated for one detector. A plot shows the speed over time for raw and aggregated data. In a following step the data of all detcetors can be used to create a contour plot with speed as color shape over the distances on the y-axis and the time on the x-axis. With this colored output a short interpretation for the motorway sections can be given.
