Academic year 2024/2025
Supervisor: Ing. Jaroslav Kašpárek, Ph.D.  
Supervising institute: ÚADI all courses guaranted by this institute
Teaching language: Czech
Course type: departmental course
Aims of the course unit:

The aim and task of the course is to acquaint students with the design layout and main technical parameters of compaction machinery, construction machinery for asphalt and concrete roads, machinery for the repair of roads and automation of machinery for road construction. Acquainted with the principles of design and planning in respect of technology and technical requirements.
Students will be able to choose the concept of meeting the technological and technical equipment requirements, specify the main components and machine projection addressed. It is able to propose optimal technological assembly machinery to build roads on the basis of their technical parameters and options.
