Learning outcomes
|
Students should familiarize themselves with basics of Geographic Information Systems (GIS). They will apply examples of approaches of GIS in visualisation and analysis in practical excersises, with stress on transportation matters.
After graduating of the course the student knows the theoretical foundation of geographic information systems and can use GIS desktop applications. The student is able to modify the appearance of the map, search for information in it, to carry out basic analysis and present their results. The student has knowledge of the possibilities of applications of GIS in transport.
