Course objectives supported by learning outcomes
The course provides students with a comprehensive insight into the issues of road transport within the Czech Republic as well as in an international context. The aim of the course is to familiarize students with the legislative framework and social regulations governing road transport operations. Emphasis is placed on understanding the technological and economic aspects of operation, including the calculation of performance indicators and costs. Furthermore, students will master the principles of traffic flow theory, traffic survey methodology, and road infrastructure issues in both urban and non-urban areas (intra-urban and extra-urban). An integral part of the curriculum involves orientation in modern trends, such as transport telematics, reducing negative externalities, and the greening of transport. The conclusion of the course is dedicated to practical issues regarding business entrepreneurship, taxation, and infrastructure charging (toll systems).
