Learning activities and teaching methods
Monologic (reading, lecture, briefing)
Learning outcomes
The target of the subject is to inform students about possibilities of application of models in transport and to acquaint students with basic methods, technics and approaches to design of transport models. Important part of the subject is in detail focused on four-step models of transport flows, on possibilities of their utilization and on methods utilized in these models.
Student is able to be well informed about the questions of modelling and to handle selected problems in the field of transport technology and control with the support of models.
Prerequisites
unspecified

Assessment methods and criteria
Oral examination, Written examination

For students of the full-time study participation in an examination is conditioned by obtaining a course credit. The obtained course credit confirms that the full-time student attended the lessons in the required amount, that he/she met the requirements for acquiring the course credit and may proceed to take the examination. Conditions for acquiring the course credit are stipulated by the teacher during the first week of the semester lecture period. The examination in the subject (its form, content and duration) is determined in compliance with the Study and Examination Regulations of the University of Pardubice.
