“Traffic Engineering and Management” Department

The management of stationary and moving traffic, including pedestrians, bicycles, and all forms of vehicles, is referred to as traffic management. Its goal is to provide the efficient, safe, and effective movement of people and goods while also protecting and, when feasible, improving the quality of the local environment on and around roadways.

The following objectives are commonly included in specific traffic management schemes:

  • a decrease in congestion, better traffic movement (most commonly sought on arterial roads, where traffic flow efficiency objectives claim higher priority)
  • improved traffic or area safety (either from crash investigation or from specific community considerations)
  • improved safety, mobility, and accessibility for children, pedestrians, and cyclists
  • the improved amenities of residential areas
  • improved access to commercial, retail, and recreational activities
  • improved road freight productivity and safety (particularly important in the achievement of economic objectives in the overall transport task)
  • improved operating conditions for road-based public transport (reflecting priority for efficient movement of people rather than on movement of vehicles per se)
  • Improved information for road users such as real time traveler information amelioration of parking problems


Considering the high demand for specialists in the industry not only in our country, but also around the world, in 2022, “Traffic Management” bachelor degree was opened at Kimyo International University in Tashkent in “Traffic Engineering and Management” department.  Currently, the Department of "Traffic Engineering and Management" is as a specialized department for the above-mentioned program.

“Traffic Engineering and Management” department involves variety of teachers in the field of Highway Engineering, Road Traffic Safety and Intelligent Transportation System and conduct specialized courses in such technical area "Traffic Management".

PROJECT SUMMARY

In the higher education institutions in Uzbekistan and Kosovo*, the field of Sustainable Transportation (ST) is inappropriately represented through one general elective course. 

The objective of the SPHERE project is to improve the quality of higher education in the field of the ST in line with EU trends, contribution, promotion and popularization of ST, strengthen its relevance for the labour market and society. 

The competence-based undergraduate/master curricula will be developed and implemented, after PC will analyse existing ST curricula in EU and Partner countries (PC). 

After identification of needed laboratory resources in PC HEIs and alignment with recommended EU HEIs laboratory equipment list, laboratory equipment, software and literature units will be purchased and 6 new laboratories will be equipped. 

Undergraduate/master curricula with set of at least 70 new courses will be developed and incorporated into 6 undergraduate/master curricula in PC HEIs. 

Four trainings of 72 PC teaching staff will be organised for acquiring new teaching and learning methods. Trainings for professionals in the field of transport with at least 10 different stakeholders in the field of transport is planned. Implementation of 12 one-day trainings (2 per PC HEI) for 180 professionals in the field of transport will be conducted. 

Project exploitation will be done through the accreditation 5 study programs (4 bachelor and 1 master) and modernization of 1 study program at bachelor level, according to national standards and Bologna Declaration.
