Basic purpose of doctoral study programme Traffic Engineering is to qualify scientists from the filed of traffic engineering who will be able to develop and apply new knowledge. The field covers the highest strategic level of development and management stuff in all structures of economy, state administration (logistics organizations, ministries, agencies, military, police, customs, and the like), scientific institutes and universities.
The aims of doctoral study Traffic Engineering are directed towards:
- recognition, analysis and organization of global traffic system and related intermodal traffic subsystems;
- study of the most demanding engineering and technological operations and processes in an organization with the emphasis on management of global intermodal traffic systems;
- usage of information management systems;
- knowledge in management of organization as a system;
- qualifying for a profound scientific
-research work in the interdisciplinary field of global intermodal traffic systems, subsystems and technologies;
- qualifying for a permanent study and development of new knowledge.
With the suggested doctoral study programme based on these aims, the students will acquire theoretical knowledge and its application in practice in order to achieve general and subject-specific competences. The gained knowledge will be comparable with the knowledge acquired in equivalent doctoral programmes of related institutions in Europe.
