Department of Transportation Services
Scientific and technological developments in our age have affected the
society and human life in a multidimensional way, and increased the
living standards with new technologies and tools. Transport vehicles; It
has been effective in providing economic, social and cultural benefits
and has come to the fore. The fact that we are intertwined with traffic
at every stage of our daily life and the increase in the number of motor
vehicles and drivers has brought to light the concept of “Traffic Safety”.
The “Traffic Safety” problem, which manifests itself in all countries of the
world, is the death, injury, disability, socio-economic loss, psychologicalsocial
impact on the relatives and families of the deceased and injured,
and environmental pollution. Traffic accidents that occur regardless
of time, person and place, affect and concern the whole public due to
their characteristics. In countries that have completed their development
processes to a large extent; There is also a great emphasis on traffic safety
studies, training is given in various institutions on road transport and
traffic, experts are trained, various researches are carried out, measures
are taken as a result of these researches, social campaigns are organized,
and in short, investment is made in traffic. In addition to the increase in
the number of motor vehicles and drivers, the fact that our country is
in progress towards development, the rapid increase of the population,
irregular construction and inadequate follow-up of technological
developments increase traffic accidents and make it difficult to solve the
traffic safety problem. Traffic Safety; In addition to providing full and
continuous infrastructure services, it can be achieved by generalizing
traffic education. With the Transport and Traffic Traffic Services
Program opened within the Technical Sciences Vocational School of
our university, it is aimed to make a great contribution to the training
of manpower, which is necessary in the field of highways transportation
and traffic and whose great gap is felt at all times in our country.
The Transport and Traffic Services Program was established in the
2008-2009 academic year within the Technical Sciences Vocational
School. Formal education is carried out in the department that
