Learning outcomes:
After successfully completing this module, students will be able to:
_ work independently or in groups on a complex topic from the field of mobility management using scientific methods,
_ be able to independently procure, evaluate and use information in a targeted manner,
_ be able to scientifically substantiate and formulate their research findings in writing and document key results using modern presentation techniques, as well as present them to the group (and third parties, if necessary).
_ be able to develop concepts in the field of mobility management individually or in a group (as well as with third parties, if necessary) and implement them,
_ be able to document the key results of their project and communicate them in a presentation to the group (as well as to third parties, if necessary).
 
Students will be able to follow current discussions on transport science and be able to critically reflect on publications from relevant scientific sub-disciplines, as well as use them for their studies.
_ They will be able to plan, conduct and implement transport science offers (methodological-didactic skills).
_ They will be able to evaluate methods for traffic simulation (diagnostic competence).
_ They will have mastered conversation and coaching techniques, as well as conflict and stress management techniques (communication skills).
 
Students will develop, expand and deepen their basic knowledge about:
