SECTION II: INTRODUCTION TO THE COURSE

Course Objectives & Content

Course Objectives:

As in the world, new railway projects are increasing in our country as well. In this respect, it is expected that there will be significant changes and developments in rail transport in the future. In this course, international and interdisciplinary general information about the railway industry will be given. It is aimed to provide information about the sector with case studies, field visits and guest speakers included in the course content. The general aim is for students who successfully complete this course to acquire a broad and applicable perspective on the railway industry. Students who will take the course should be prone to creative thinking and teamwork in order to solve problems. At the end of the course, students will have a basic understanding of rail transport infrastructure, passenger and freight transport operations and vehicles, the major terminology used in rail transport.

Course Content:

Students who successfully complete this course; Will be able to describe the daily line operations, terminal operations and local operations of rail transport. Will be able to define processes to provide error-free intermodal operations with other transport methods, Will be able to make different measurements and demands for the acceptance of various rail passenger systems. will be able to compare Turkey's railway operations with international standards, They will be able to achieve the changing objectives and competencies necessary for the development of the railway industry.
