Remote Control Systems in Traffic Course code: 117080 | 5 ECTS credits

Basic information
Level of Studies: Undergraduate applied studies
Year of Study: 3
Semester: 6
Requirements:
Goal: Getting acquainted with the principle of operation of remote-control systems, understanding the way of organizing the elements of the system, and mastering the application of new systems for the control of railway traffic and the functioning of stable electric traction.
Outcome: The student has understood the basic characteristics and can define the transfer functions of the automatic control system. He adopted the principles of operation of converters and regulators and their application in control systems. He is able to analyze and monitor the work of new systems, with special emphasis on the SCADA system, in the control of railway traffic.
