/Transportsystem/

Advancement level:
D

Aim:
The course gives deep theorethical knowledge about goods transport systems within the fields structure, control and techniques. Knowledge is given about models and methods for design and operation of transport systems and also theories about how different actors act on the transport markets. Basic knowledge is given about economic aspects of transports, transport calculation, effects of surrounding global factors and transport evolution.
