The subject goal is an objective, systematic and critical approach to the scientific methods applied in motor vehicle technology.

Student gets a capability to perform experimental and theoretical research in an area of scientific disciplines that are implemented in field of motor vehicle technology, having a goal towards the optimization and further development of vehicle components and subsystems. Student should develop individuality and systematic approach in all steps of research, including teamwork and international cooperation skills.

Student select a field according to the research that is directed towards realization of doctoral dissertation: Vehicle structure load analysis. Vehicle powetrain management. Vertical and horizontal vehicle dynamics. Vehicle braking. Energetic aspect of vehicle drive. Oscillatory comfort. Thermal comfort. Aerodynamics of outside and inside of a vehicle. Modern methods of diagnostics of vehicle subsystems.

Lectures, study research work and consultations. The lectures provide a theoretical part of the material using modern equipment and information and communication technologies. Through the lectures, a student acquires and mastered contemporary scientific knowledge, scientific methods and procedures that enable him to become independent research work. In addition to lectures, consultations are also held regularly. Study research work includes all forms of teaching that are in the function of directly training a student for research, writing scientific papers and making a doctoral dissertation. Study research work includes active monitoring of primary scientific sources, organization and execution of numerical simulations and experimental research.
