Monologic (reading, lecture, briefing)
Learning outcomes
The goal of this course is to introduce basics of renewal theory (reliability and maintenance) of transport vehicles (road and rail vehicles) to the students.
The graduate of this course will be able to analyze operational reliability of vehicles and to design a reliable maintenance system of a vehicle or its component regarding logistic assurance of vehicles' maintenance.
Prerequisites
Graduation of courses based on operational reliability and diagnostic systems I., II.

Assessment methods and criteria
Oral examination, Written examination

Assignment confirms, that the student of full time study took part in requested measures in the compulsory lessons and that he fulfilled requirements which are conditions for receiving it. Conditions for receiving assignment defines the lecturer. Active presence in exercises is requested (taking part in all practical exercises and delivery of satisfactory protocoles from these exercises). Examination from the lesson (form, contents and duration) is defined in accordance with the Study and examination order of the University (Studijní a zkušební řád UPa). Receiving of assignment is the condition for taking part in the examination. Examination is devided into written and spoken part. Succesfull finishing of written part of exam is a condition for taking part in spoken exam. Students must during the semester show independent solving of practical tasks, at the final exam undestanding to the solved problems. Concrete requirements will be conveyed to students by lecturer in the first lesson of the course.
