Planned learning activities and teaching methods
Teaching methods depend on the type of course unit as specified in the article 7 of BUT Rules for Studies and Examinations.
Lessons are the basic form of education and they provide explanation and theoretical base for studied issue. Practical examples are solved in exercises. Texts, writtten materials, standards, manuals, instructions etc. are provided in LMS Moodle as well as and homework exercises are submitted in Moodle. This course includes excursions to Brno traffic control centre and to i

Assesment methods and criteria linked to learning outcomes
Practises are finished with a credit classification with condition of adequate attendance (max three absences), supply of report from excursions and presentation.
Evaluation of examination is based on test in written form with fourty five questions and on results of work during all semester.
