Students completing the Master’s Study Program in Road Traffic acquire the following specific competencies:

• Analysis and evaluation of processes within the traffic system;
• Synthesis of events in the transport system, particularly the integration of transport knowledge with other important social subsystems, as well as the evaluation of the effects of the transport system on the environment, spatial development, economy, and demography;
• Development of Sustainable Urban Mobility Plans (SUMP), through the acquisition of knowledge in mobility, road, and transport planning as key components of sustainable societal development (at local, regional, and national levels);
• Preparation of traffic studies, including understanding the origin (generation) and distribution of traffic flows, knowledge of traffic flow characteristics related to road and transport capacities, and familiarity with planning, modeling, evaluation, and forecasting methods and techniques in transportation;
• Preparation of studies on the environmental impact of transport, based on understanding the interactions among environment, space, health, economy, and transport;
• Development of safety concepts and studies, including auditing and road traffic safety inspections, supported by knowledge of causes, consequences, possibilities, and measures to ensure road safety;
• Planning, development, and implementation of transport technologies in the transport equipment industry, as well as in transport and logistics systems;
• Design, development, and implementation of Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) in practice;
• Organization of transport activities in passenger and freight transport, including the management of special and hazardous goods transport;
• Preparation of professional foundations for spatial planning;
• Preparation of programs, operational plans, and maintenance strategies for transport systems.
