5. Transport quality. Multi-criteria evaluation methods for passenger and freight transport.
6. Formation and distribution of transport flows. Designing a mass passenger transport system. Integrated passenger transport systems.
7. Distribution of transport tasks (modal split). Selection of transport mode. Operational and economic aspects of vehicle selection.
8. Designing a public transport system. Model of transport service for a populated area. Transport network and its characteristics.
9. Designing a public transport network. Temporal and spatial accessibility of mass passenger transport.
10. Operational elements of road freight transport. Speed, capacity, loading and unloading times, transport distance, standards.
11. Turnaround time in road freight transport, operating time, operational technology for semi-trailers, trailers, vehicle combinations, and tippers.
12. Performance in road freight transport and freight forwarding. Calculations and assessment. Coefficients of time and capacity utilization for freight vehicles.
13. Impact of technical and economic indicators on the performance and costs of road freight transport.
Exercise Program
