| Course abstract | |
| To ensure the rhythmic work of road transport within the subject, the basic principles of design, construction and maintenance of forest roads are embraced. Knowledge is provided on the technological equipment, operational performance and working organisation of the vehicle composition of different types of timber. | |
| Learning outcomes and their assessment | |
| • knowledge of the importance of forest roads network in forest management, of forest infrastructure design, construction and maintenance, of the technological equipment for timber transport vehicles and of the forms of timber transport work organization;
• skills to apply acquired knowledge in the quality assessment of new infrastructure and road-building projects, for the choices of the appropriate timber transport vehicles and timber transport work organization forms; • competence to make well-grounded decision on the most efficient timber transport vehicles and forms of timber transport work organization under the specific production conditions, as well as on the necessity for design and construction of new infrastructure objects. |
