Learning outcomes: One knows instructions planning of roads of all technical grades also technical instructions catalogues of pavements; one know technical specifications of maintenance of a permanent ways, as well as technical instructions of maintenance of subgrade; one knows technical guidelines of railway line and stations design; one knows up-to-date requirements and treatments for environmental protection long ways of modernizing lines of communication; one understands essence of requirements, witch one are lays in instance modernization of communicational routes; one knows contemporary methods of planning of land transport; one knows rules of designs of bridges, culverts and tunnels; one knows rules of design, construction, operation and maintenance of infrastructure airports; one understands substance of term “interoperability” in European rail system. One is able to design road and cross-road/street, railway line and railway station on scale of a geometrical scheme, a pavement, a drainage, a pavement and earthworks; one is able to propose the way of methods and technics of a reinforcement of road or rail groundwork; one manages to select a construction of a new also how to repair existing pavement; one is able to design objects of an infrastructure of an airport; he manages to realize calculations of capacity stretches HCM 85 method; one is able to determine of a scale of tasks connected with proper retention of bridge objects and lines of communication.
Competences: One identifies with necessity of activity to minimalism of negative influence of communication investments; one understands a weight a project correctness for security of exploitation.
Prerequisites: Soil mechanics, building materials, computational methods.
