Road Transport
Road transport is essential for the functioning of modern society and economy. The programme enables students to understand all dimensions of the road system – from infrastructure through safety to organization and technology. The emphasis is on practical work and real projects.
Description
The Road Transport programme educates specialists for planning, design, organization and management of road traffic systems. The programme integrates knowledge from transportation engineering, traffic safety, infrastructure and technology of passenger and freight transport, preparing students for practical and analytical work in road transport.
Within the programme, students acquire knowledge about the functioning and development of road traffic systems, transport technology, techniques for managing traffic flows and planning transport infrastructure. The programme is designed to link theoretical knowledge with practical experience through laboratory work, project assignments and collaboration with industry. Special attention is paid to traffic safety, digitalization of transport and the use of advanced tools for modelling and simulation of traffic flows.
About the Programme
Road transport encompasses planning, design and management of road infrastructure, vehicles, traffic flows and safety. The programme is aligned with labour market needs and includes application of advanced tools, simulations and GIS technologies. Students acquire competencies required for work in road transport, transport engineering, traffic management and transport planning.
During studies, students participate in laboratory work, field instruction, professional projects and collaboration with the business sector. The programme enables continuation at master's level and later engagement in specialist and postgraduate studies.
