227-0492 – Design of Advanced Transport System (NPDS)

The subject follows the problems of the transport engineering taught in previous forms of study. The student will be acquainted with the new technical knowledge in the design of transport structures, the possibilities of increasing the safety of transport and the principles of positioning of the scales, sensors and detectors in the structures of roads and railways. Attention will also be paid to advanced transport systems that are expected to develop in connection with the expected expansion of new transport technologies, such as autonomous vehicles, clever roads, clever public transport stops and other clever applications for transport.
