During a review of study plans, the course 136DSUP can be substituted for the course 136DSUZ.

The course 136RPK can be graded only after the course 136DSUZ has been successfully completed.

In order to register for the course 136SS01, the student must have successfully completed the course 136DSUZ.

The course 136DSZP can be graded only after the course 136DSUZ has been successfully completed.

The course 137ZE01 can be graded only after the course 136DSUZ has been successfully completed.

The requirement for course 136DSUZ can be fulfilled by substitution with the course 136DSUP.

Synopsis:

The course 136DSUZ is composed of 3 issues, which build on each other and complement each other. These are the area of transport structures (roads and rail transport - scope 3+1) and the area of urban planning and spatial planning (scope 2+0). Unlike the road construction and railroad construction sections, the urban planning section does not end with credit.

Transport Structures - Roads (R):

Introduction to basic terminology in the part of roads, history. Road Act and related legislative and technical regulations, their impact on road design. Design categories of roads and motorways, design speed, directional and elevation design of routes, cross-sectional layout of roads and motorways, earthwork - dimensions, shapes, drainage. Urban roads, division and marking, definition of MK space, differences in design, operation and equipment. Carriageway, division, design principles. Safety equipment, junctions and crossings.

Transport Structures - Rail transport (RT):

Introduction to basic terminology, Issues of railway crossings from the point of view of security, design and operation. Tram transport - history, principles of tram track construction, interaction with the environment. Metro as a system of urban rail transport. Basic principles and parameters, metro lines. Railway constructions - an introduction to the design and construction of a railway track in the conditions of the Czech Republic, the basic elements of the railway superstructure.

Spatial Planning (SP):

Teaching spatial planning and urban planning, spatial planning tools and procedures for their acquisition.

Requirements:

Lectures are not compulsory, but they are certainly a better basis for understanding the subject matter taught than independent study from the syllabus provided by the lecturers.

Exercises are compulsory - clarification with the lecturers.

Submission of work within the prescribed scope and deadline.

The field of urban planning does not have a requirement to submit an exercise as part of the DSUZ course.

Syllabus of lectures:

R:

1. Transport - division, basic types. Basic regulations.

2. Design elements - speed, visibility, directional and height elements.

3. Route, area, routing conditions. Directional curves and transition lines.

4. Elevation design - design conditions, max. and min. grades, elevation curve.

5. Width arrangement of the PK, cross section, earthwork, drainage.

6. Safety equipment on PK - distribution, functions, requirements.

7. Structural layers - distribution, functions, materials.

8. Pavement construction - input data, requirements and design of the composition according to the catalogue.

9. Urban roads, traffic areas, parking.

RT:

1. Basic terms and terminology, rail transport and rail construction; regulations and legislation; railway crossings – design, security and construction.

2. Tram transport and construction of tram tracks, basic design elements, tram superstructure.

3. Subway. Historical overview; tracks and tunnels; subway superstructure.

4. Railway tracks. Railway network in the Czech Republic, railway corridors, railway superstructure.

SP:

1) Introduction to the field of urbanism and spatial planning, content and meaning of spatial planning activities, spatial administrative division, spatial planning and public administration;

2) Rural space and landscape, basic definitions and concepts related to rural environment and planning, rural settlement, landscape, landscape types, landscape protection, cultural values of landscape, landscape character;

3) Urban environment, basic definitions and concepts related to the urban environment and its planning, functional subsystems of the city, urban structure of the built environment, city and landscape, function of green spaces in the city;

4) Spatial planning at the national, regional, municipal level - overview of spatial planning tools;

5) Spatial planning activities - spatial planning authorities, process of land use planning documentation;

6) Spatial development policy and spatial planning documentation - spatial development policy, spatial development plan, spatial development principles, zoning plan and regulatory plan. Content of spatial planning documentation and their objectives, principles and instruments;

7) Spatial planning documents - spatial analytical documents and spatial studies, the process of their preparation, their content, objectives, principles;

8) Functional and spatial regulation, conditionality of construction in zoning documents, conditions of use and material and spatial regulation, conditionality of changes in the territory;

9) Public infrastructure - public spaces;

10) Public infrastructure - public communal facilities;

11) Public infrastructure - technical infrastructure;

12) Public infrastructure - transport infrastructure;

13) Protection of the public interest and map documentation, limitation of property rights and protection of the public interest in spatial planning, map documentation.

Syllabus of tutorials:

R:

1. Design of horizontal alignment of the road in the specified area

2. Design of vertical alignment of the road

3. Design of the road cross-section with corresponding components, sample and working cross-section, slope and ditch gradients

4. Road pavement design, consultation

5. Submission of the project

RT:

1. Assessment of visibility conditions at railway crossings, visibility conditions.

2. Basic description of railway tracks and parts of the superstructure – rails and fastenings, categorization of the track, consultation.

SP:

The part of urban planning does not have any exercises within the DSUZ course.

Study Objective:

R:

The student will learn the basics of road design and pavements design. The student will learn how to work with project documentation and will be able to design (or assess the correctness of the design) a pavement structure for simple conditions.

RT:

The aim is to provide students with a basic orientation in the field of rail transport with a focus on issues related to the design and construction of individual types of rail transport.

SP:

The aim of the course is to provide students with a basic orientation in spatial planning and urbanism and information about spatial subsystems that affect the quality of the environment of settlements. A major focus will be on selected land-use planning tools and their acquisition procedures.
