Faculty of Transportation Sciences

Our mission is to educate students, carry out scientific research and investigate projects in the field of transportation, telematics and telecommunications, taking into account the requirements of the market and with emphasis on state-of-the-art technologies, intelligent transportation systems, economic analyses, relations between transportation and the environment, power engineering, etc.

We Are Unique in the World

  • master's dual-degree programme (IS) - Intelligent Transport Systems together with Linköping University in Sweden, which combines information and telecommunication technologies with transport engineering.
  • master dual-degree program (SC) - Smart Cities together with The University of Texas at El Paso in the United States, it is the only dual-degree programme at CTU in cooperation with an American university.
  • the agreement concluded within the framework of the doctoral dual-degree programme in Smart Cities between the National Taiwan University of Science and Technology and the Faculty of Transportation Sciences.

We Are Unique in the Czech Republic

  • by having built unique scientific research facilities.
  • a specific form of project-oriented teaching, which is connected with practice and students address current topics in the field of transport.
  • teaching at our faculty is based on a systemic concept of transport and logistics, using modern management methods up to the deployment of autonomous mobility devices.
  • in our teaching we link road, rail, water and air transport and logistics not only in the Czech Republic but also in a global context.
