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. Student becomes 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 in relation to city logistics, is able to define the basic parameters of a comprehensive solution to the issue and knows advanced approaches development trends in the context of city logistics.

Learning outcomes

The graduate of the course is able to identify the strengths and weaknesses of transport in urban areas and agglomerations, can solve tasks of planning and optimizing transportation and traffic flows in agglomerations and has proper knowledge about the specific SW tool dealing with modeling the city's transport system.
