Course objectives supported by learning outcomes
The aim of the course is to acquaint students with the nature and solution of logistic problems of cities in different concepts of partial solutions to complex approach. Become familiar with the classic concept of city logistics solutions as flows of goods and other materials to the centers of large cities, widespread concept involving all relevant components of transport in the whole agglomeration, the issue of freight and public transport, including its integration as an important part of urban logistics and related logistics and environmental environment. Graduates will be able to identify strengths and weaknesses in transport in towns and cities, can solve the task scheduling and optimization of transport and traffic flows in cities. He is able to define and describe the properties of both passenger and freight transport, environment and transport technology and advanced development approaches and trends in the context of city logistics, he is able to define the basic parameters of a comprehensive solution to the issue.
Learning outcomes
The graduate is able to:
- identify strengths and weaknesses in transport in urban and suburban areas;
- can address tasks of planning and optimization of transport and transportation flows in agglomerations and can work with specific software dealing with modeling the city's transport system;
- can define and describe individual characteristics of passenger and freight transport, means of transport and technology;
- can define the basic parameters of a complex solution to a given issue;
- can also propose appropriate regulatory and rationalization measures in the context of providing comprehensive transport services in urban areas.
