Think about the time you decided to be an engineer. Back then, did you dream of building huge machines? Robotic monsters, airplanes, ships … but that wasn’t it. In fact, you always knew you were fascinated by trains – those huge gleaming machines that run even along at 500 km/h. They move, not stuck in a traffic jam, and they are green transport. Want to know more?

Advanced Course of Railway Engineering

A group of students in safety vests in a tram depot.
The course is intended for students of technical faculties (not necessarily related to railway engineering) who want to gain a cross-sectional knowledge of rail vehicle engineering. The course is focused on the vehicles themselves and their mechanical components like wheelsets, springs, dampers etc., so that this course requires knowledge of mechanical engineering.

Covered topics

Construction of Rail Vehicles

A lecturer teaching about design of rail vehicles while sitting on a railway bogie frame..
The anatomy of a rail vehicle is the fundamental knowledge to learn about it. You will also get to know about the latest trends in railway engineering.

Rail Vehicle Dynamics

A lecturer teaching students about wheel rail dynamics with railway roller rig in the background.
You will understand the rules by which the train moves and it’s characteristics crucial for the designing and operation of safe and comfortable rail vehicles.

Noise and Vibration in Rail Vehicles

Students during acoustic measurements inside a tramway.
Today’s trains must be quiet and comfortable, so it is extremely important to identify the causes of vibration and noise emissions and to develop mitigation measures. Hands on the mics!

Design of Rail Vehicles

Designing process of a rail vehicle takes full advantage of the latest technologies and materials. Dive in!

Advanced Course of Railway Transportation

The course is intended for students of technical faculties (not necessarily related to railway engineering) who want to gain a cross-sectional knowledge of railway transportation. The course is focused on the railway as an entire system including the interdependencies between the rolling stock and the infrastructure, the potential of the system railway as well as its limitations and where the characteristic properties have their roots, so that this course requires basic knowledge of transportation engineering.

Covered topics

Structural Design of Railway Vehicles and Infrastructure

The anatomy of a rail vehicle and infrastructure is the fundamental knowledge to learn about it. You will also get to know about the latest trends in transport engineering.

Diagnostics in Railway Transportation

Knowledge of the technical condition of vehicles and infrastructure determines their safety and reliability. You will get to know about the current techniques of condition monitoring and methods of diagnosing.

Organization and operation of Railway Transportation

The transport network is a global organism with many complex relationships. We will smoothly guide you through this topic.

International Railway Cooperation

You will learn that, despite being altogether called trains, this mode of transport has different ways of operation in different countries. We will talk about standarization then.
