Summary
The course is designed for undergraduate students to study transport sectors. It deals with the basic technological processes in railway traffic, their essence, learning contexts that influence the creation of technology.
Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit
To acquaint students with the general principles for the creation of transport technologies, Peculiarities of transport technology in the context of the modes and the basic technological processes in railway traffic.
Course Contents
Technology for land transport (meaning the general principles of their formation, factors affecting their work)
The general structure of technology (operations, activity, action, sequence, using methods of network analysis for process control)
Technology and management of rail traffic
Planning activities within the railway traffic
Local technological processes (technology for forming of trains and the shift fork control operation of the rail, in inter-station sections, the lines are introduced in a simplified manner railway traffic control)
Network technological processes (forming of trains passenger, freight forming of trains)
