The lectures follow the material presented in the mandatory literature and are conducted using specialized presentation tools and templates developed by the course instructors. Student interaction is encouraged during the lectures, and at the end of each lecture, a discussion on the presented material is planned.

Auditory exercises are conducted by solving numerical problem tasks to enable students to plan transport operations at the strategic, operational, and tactical levels. Laboratory exercises involve students solving problem tasks using available software packages. Students are encouraged to actively participate and discuss the issues being addressed.
