Lecture 01: Matlab I - the interactive usage
This lecture gives the basics to use Matlab interactively and to get in touch with the development environment. It explains what Matlab is, shows how to use matrixes and operations respectively selections with them and explains the functions which are already offered by Matlab to do some basic calculations. A short excursion shows functions for the descriptive statistics while the lesson ends with an overview of possible graphical output plots on the basis of data sets.Downloads

Lecture 03: Matlab II - the programming language
This lecture gives the basics for programming with MATLAB including the usage of M-files for scripts and own functions. It shows the application flow structures like conditions and loops and gives the elementary input and output functions. An overview about efficiency and a short animation example closes the lecture.Downloads

Lecture 04: Project work
This lecture gives a possibility to train the usage of Matlab in the field of traffic engineering with original raw data collected with detectors on the motorway A9 from Munich to Nuremberg. The raw data from an Excel table must be prepared for the usage with Matlab. Then the data must be read in and aggregated for one detector. A plot shows the speed over time for raw and aggregated data. In a following step the data of all detcetors can be used to create a contour plot with speed as color shape over the distances on the y-axis and the time on the x-axis. With this colored output a short interpretation for the motorway sections can be given.Downloads
