Student feedback from academic year 2024-2045: “The course Designing Automated Transport Systems was a valuable introduction to automated transport. For me, the group project combining theory and practice, along with guest lectures providing practical implementations and real-world insights, were the most interesting parts. The course motivated me to learn more so that I decided to take other ENACT courses to broaden my knowledge.”
Learning outcomes – After completing the course student will be able to:
- Understand the overall design context including different requirements and stakeholders relevant to the automated transport systems
