inf650 - Transport Systems (Complete module description)

Production-oriented business informatics
 

Objective of the module/skills:
The Module Transport systems deals with planning and controlling systems of internal and external company logistics as well as public transport. It provides basic knowledge and recent research topics. The focus is on a resource orientated holistic view of company logistics as well as the planning of transport infrastructure. Furthermore, trends such as autonomous vehicles and intelligent transport systems are discussed.

The students:

• name the basics of planning and controlling company logistics
• assess transport systems of companies
• name methods and approaches of computer aided transport systems and classify them
• characterise software to plan complex logistics

Methodological competence
The students:

• display topics and concepts of transport systems
• simulate transport and its systems with appropriate methods

Social competence
