Transport Means - Railway Vehicles
The branch of study Transport Means – Railway Vehicles focuses upon solving problems of railway transport means, their construction, operational use, maintenance and repair. The theoretical preparation is completed with professional internships, which follow the taught professional courses and acquaint the student with specific problems occuring in practice. The aim of the programme is to prepare specialists in designing of conceptions, properties and parameters of railway vehicles, optimization of maintenance, vehicle testing, etc. Graduates can work in corporations which deal with operation, repair or maintenance of railway vehicles. They are able to work in the field of science and research as well as in management. Study programme contents additional universal technical courses in Mechanics, Mechanics of Materials, Dynamical Strength and Service Life, Structural Materials, CAD Systems or FEM. Specialized courses are focused on Theory of Railway Vehicles, Testing of Railway Vehicles, Theory of Maintenance, Braking systems, Computational Methods of Railway Vehicle Design, Selected topics in Railway Vehicle design, Railway Track Machines and Mechanization, Control or Diagnostic and Traction Systems of Track Vehicles. Courses in Testing of Railway Vehicles are completed by excursions to one of the best testing centre in Europe which is equipped by testing circle for maximum speed 200 kmph. Master´s study graduated can continue in the doctoral degree study programme focused on Transport Means and Infrastructure.
