Technology is networking.

The performance of transport systems is of crucial importance for individual mobility, commerce and for the welfare and economic growth of all nations. There are, however, considerable problems to be overcome which can be addressed through the use of Intelligent Transport Systems. The field of Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) is concerned with the procedures, systems and devices which can enhance transport and mobility of passengers and freight through collection, communication, analysis and distribution of information. In order to design and operate complex and intermodal ITS detailed knowledge in a number of different disciplines is required.

Challenges in transport

The European Master of Science in Intelligent Transport Systems is offered either as a multiple degree program (with two or three nationally recognized degrees depending on the students individual mobility track) or as a single degree program. Students have to choose after their first semester their preferred study-paths according to the specializations offered. The final assignment of study paths is made by the consortium (UASTW, CTU, LiU) based on performance and availability. For acquiring a double degree students have to change university after stage 1 or 2. For acquiring a multiple degree students have to change university after stage 1 and have to move to a third university after stage 2.
