The goal is to be able to apply scientific methods to the analysis of transportation problems, identify and compare alternatives and make recommendations for the preferred solution.

Furthermore, the goal is to train the student in engineering work on a scientific basis and develop student’s ability to work independently and critically.

In general the rule is that the main part of the studies, at least 60 credits should be ready before the thesis work is allowed to start, including:

• AH2171 Traffic Engineering and Management or AH1022 Traffic and road management or equivalent knowledge.
