Summary

The subject deals with software fo transport constructions which are used for design work, with traffic-engineering data, etc. Students will acquire basic skills to formulate problems, to form a basic design, apply knowledge and skills in solving elementary problems of the transport problems of transport structures and the use of selected software products.

Learning outcomes:
- Formulate basic problems in the field of transport and transport structures.
- Design elementary solutions using specialized software.
- Apply theoretical knowledge in solving practical problems.
- Work with transport engineering data in a software environment.
- Evaluate and present the results obtained with software support.
