Course detail
FSI-QK0Acad. year: 2024/2025
The subject introduces students to the basic actions and requirements in the development of rolling stock, both from the point of view of the whole, and also with a focus on individual structural part, their purpose, principle of function, construction and current state of development. The theoretical, structural and operational aspects are monitored. Presentation materials of functional samples provided by industrial partners and experimental techniques in laboratories are used during teaching.

Entry knowledge
Basic knowledge corresponding to the subjects of the theoretical basis of the bachelor's degree FSI BUT in Brno, primarily statics, kinematics, dynamics, flexibility and strength.
Rules for evaluation and completion of the course
Credit is conditional on: - active participation in the exercises, - passing the credit test.
The credit test verifies the knowledge acquired in the exercises, it can be supplemented with an oral discussion.
Teaching in exercises and laboratories is compulsory, attendance is checked by the teacher. The form of replacing lessons missed for serious reasons is solved individually with the subject guarantor, usually by working out additional tasks from the given issue.
Aims
The aim of the subject is to introduce students to the issue of rolling stock. The student will acquire knowledge about the construction of trucks, passenger cars and driving vehicles. Attention is also paid to key structural units from the point of view of the requirements placed on them, their construction, the method of development and subsequent testing.
The student acquires knowledge that is a prerequisite for independent conceptual or design work, as well as the ability to evaluate and optimize structural designs of partial structural units of rolling stock, while the emphasis is on practical usability.
