A. Knowledge
- Environmental impact factors of transport, manifestations, physical, and health effects.
- Components of sustainability, the transportation oriented elements of the three main fields, criteria.
- Regulation elements of the impact mitigation, main fields, methods, management and approach methods on the field of transport.
- Elements of impact assessment process, in the case of transport infrastructure development, national and international regulation.
- Planning integration in the joint approach of transport, environment and land use planning.
- Opportunities of moderation, and management of environmental impacts of freight transport, methods and technics in the three main directions and those application.
- Internalisation of external costs of transport, methods, regulation opportunities, techniques, methodologies.
- Relationship of sustainable urban environmental management and transport, methods of reduction of urban environmental impacts, techniques.
- Soft mobility forms in the mobility structure, supporting environment, infrastructure, regulation opportunities.
- Physical and technical knowledges on the field of transport noise, methods of noise protection, regulation opportunities, techniques of prevention.
- Sustainable driving modes, components of fuel structures, technical and regulatory questions.
B. Skills
- Shift of planning and development of transport systems towards environmentally sound directions, in the frame of the future individual and team work.
- Ability of preference of environmental principles during management of existing transport systems and infrastructures, in favor of sustainability and safeguarding of natural, built and social environment.
- Application, reception and development of regulation and planning methods, for the management and reduction of environmental impacts of elements of transport verticum.
C. Attitudes
- Openness and sensitivity to tasks and conflict management of environmental impacts of transport, and to reception, application and development of innovative solutions.
- Basic approach at development of transport infrastructures and at management of existing systems, the reduction of those environmental impacts, management of environmental costs and external impacts.
- Representation and enforcement of prevention principle, on the field of daily decisions and communication, regarding transport impacts.
D. Autonomy and Responsibility
- Self-motivated, responsible and exemplary behaviour, in the creative engineering work, in research and development processes, and renewal of existing systems, regarding application and dissemination of sustainability principles on transport.
- Independent and self-motivated behaviour on the fields of transport innovation, focusing on principles and values of sustainability, natural resource protection and safeguarding the society.
- Adequate responsibility in the decision making process, the preparation and making of decisions with particular attention to the long term consequences of decisions and awareness raising
