Learning outcomes
The very aim of the course is to help students overcome difficulties in the process of theoretical methods and algorithms of practical application of operation research in transportation systems.
Completing the course will improve basic ability of students of the Applied Informatics in Transport branch of study to solve problems of transportation practice using informatics and operation analysis. It means especially formulation of a problem and aims of its solution, design of data structures, analysis of the problem, choice of the solution method as well as computer implementation and issues verification.
Prerequisites
The prerequisites for the successful completion of the course is knowledge in the area of algorithmization and programming, technology and transport control, logistics and operation analysis.

Assessment methods and criteria
Home assignment evaluation, Work-related product analysis

Awarding course credit confirms that the student fulfilled the required attendance and other qualifying conditions. The conditions for awarding credits are: active work at seminars, min. 75% attendance, independent work in the form of PC programme.
