Aims

The aim of course is to acquaint students with a conception, sense and meaning of logistics and transport planning. Logistics as an instrument of optimalization, cost reduction and marketing in transport. Logistic factors. Logistic strategy in transport.Introduction to numerical simulation program and its associated programming languages. The possibility of its use for solving transport-handling processes.
