Learning outcomes of the course unit

Students will gain knowledge of logistic approaches to handling traffic-handling processes. They are able to identify appropriate logistic indicators for transport-handling systems and carry out their evaluation.

Prerequisites

Successful completion of the course is conditional on the basic knowledge of technical mechanics, physics and higher mathematics.

Co-requisites

Not applicable.

Planned learning activities and teaching methods

The course is taught through lectures explaining the basic principles and theory of the discipline. Part of the lessons are tutorials where the student applies the acquired knowledge in relation to the topic of doctoral study.

Assesment methods and criteria linked to learning outcomes

The exam is evaluated with acquired knowledge and the ability to apply them. The exam is written with a final oral interview.
