Course detail
Transportation Infrastructure Planning and Simulation
FSI-SLV-AAcad. year: 2024/2025
The course “Transportation infrastructure planning and simulation” teaches students about concepts of logistics chain management, types of inter-object and in-house transport and principles of warehouse management. Students will learn the tools of business process management. Graduates of the course will gain knowledge about the methodology of planning logistic processes from the preparatory phase and system analysis to the use of modern computer tools including discrete material flow simulation. The course includes current trends in the field of business process digitization.

Entry knowledge
Successful completion of the course is conditional on the basic knowledge of technical mechanics and mathematics.
Rules for evaluation and completion of the course
The semester work is prepared during the course. The semester work aims to create a computer model of the logistics system. The results of the semester work are presented at the end of the semester. Credit is granted for semester work and its presentation.
The exam is written with a final oral interview and verifies theoretical knowledge. The thematic areas of the exam questions are created according to the topics of the lectures.
Aims
The aim of the course is to familiarize the students with logistic approaches in the handling of handling and transport processes. Assessment of logistics processes and their cross-sectional functions. Possibilities of modeling of traffic handling processes.
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.
Study aids
The study documents are listed in the e-learning support of the course.
