To improve mobility in the whole Central Baltic area, its transport system needs to increase traffic safety, efficiency, mobility and customer satisfaction across national borders, whilst reducing the environmental impact. To achieve this goal, Inteltrans project is working on modernizing higher education (VET) curricula for transport and traffic management professionals by addressing emerging development needs and by creating a joint Intelligent Transport and Traffic Management study module (15 ECTS) that will be piloted among international students.
The project results will be achieved by combining traditional and e-learning methods as well as by using a simulation environment. A significant emphasis will be put on the integration of IT and telecommunications technologies into the transport and traffic safety management programmes.
As a result, the project will create a study module thanks to which a greater number of employees will possess the skills and competences needed in the current international labour market. The methodology and materials developed by the project will be applicable and replicable outside the current partnership as well.

Achieved results
Intelligent Transport and Traffic Management study module was developed
Project partners developed jointly a harmonized and modernized Intelligent Transport and Traffic Management study module (15 ECTS) and teaching methodology focused on transport and traffic safety management. The study module was developed by experts from three participating countries Estonia, Finland and Latvia. Different traffic and study conditions in countries were discussed and integrated into the study module. Joint study module was piloted with multinational groups of students.
Integrating the harmonized and modernized Intelligent Transport and Traffic Management study module to partner schools’ curriculum is expected to stimulate more cross border workflow as the education the students receive is common in all three countries. This also helps to increase traffic safety, efficiency, mobility and customer satisfaction across national borders, while reducing environmental impact.
In addition to the study module, relevant teaching and study materials, structured e-learning materials, teaching methodology for using simulation tools and common virtual study and teaching environment usage plan were developed.
