Learning outcomes
|
The aim of the subject is to make students acquinted with current technical requirements and regulations (international, national) for road vehicles approval and testing.
After passing the subject students are able to orientate themselves to problems of vehicles testing. They have an overview of technical requirements and technical legislation (national, international) for road vehicles and vehicles approval procedures. They are familiar with main test methods and evaluation procedures, especially in the field of emissions, brakes, EMC, handling and stability.
