STUDY
The Department of Transportation Engineering is one of the main departments at the Faculty of Civil Engineering of STU in Bratislava. It provides the teaching of compulsory, semi-compulsory, and elective courses.
Get to know the Department of Transportation Engineering through elective courses!
To expand your knowledge and complete the required number of credits, you can also enrol in elective courses, which are any courses taught by the Faculty of Civil Engineering, including compulsory and semi-compulsory courses from another study programme. The Department of Transportation Engineering, like other departments, also offers a number of elective courses that are popular with students. Thanks to them, a student can already at the bachelor's level of study penetrate into the basic issues of road, rail, and air transport, design, traffic engineering, and road construction. Find our Offer of elective courses for bachelor's and master's degrees HERE.
We look forward to seeing you in the new academic year 2025/2026!

* XXX. Seminar of Ivan Poliaček with international participation
12.- 14.11.2025, Hotel Grand**** Jasná, Low Tatras
The year 2025 represented a significant milestone in the history of the seminar and was an opportunity to evaluate the achievements and challenges we have overcome together. It was also a view into the future, which requires new approaches, innovations, and collaborative efforts that are an integral part of modern road construction in changing conditions—from research and technical development to sustainable solutions in planning and construction.
The seminar offered inspiring lectures, interesting insights, and valuable meetings between experts from different countries. We believe that the seminar provided not only valuable information, but also inspiration for further steps forward in our collaborative efforts to achieve safe and high-quality road infrastructure.
The event provided a space for expert discussion on current issues and challenges facing us today.
The seminar in honor of Mr. Ivan Poliaček, a prominent educator and expert in road construction, as well as a leading official of the Slovak Road Society, is held under the auspices of the Ministry of Transport of the Slovak Republic and the Dean of the Faculty of Civil Engineering at STU in Bratislava, Prof. Ing. Stanislav Unčík, PhD.
Technical topics of the seminar:
T1 Legislation. Planning, preparation, and building road infrastructure
T2 Road construction materials and technologies
T3 Cement concrete pavements – 30 years with you

* Department of Transportation Engineering at Open Days 2025
The Department of Transportation Engineering regularly participates in various promotional events organized by the faculty, and this year's Open Days, held on February 6, 2025, was no exception.
Department representative Ing. Jakub Takács, PhD. together with active students Bc. Barbora Medelská and Bc. Ondrej Jurkovič talked to secondary school students who visited the Open Day about the possibility of studying for a bachelor's degree in the field of IKDS (Structural and transportation engineering).
As part of the presentation of study opportunities, students were also introduced to interesting facts from the field of urban and road engineering. Throughout the event, a video demonstration of road parameter scanning using the RoadScanner system was shown.
We would like to thank all secondary school students for stopping by our stand and asking all the questions that interested them. We look forward to meeting you in person at the Faculty of Civil Engineering in the coming academic year!

* Book publication TRANSPORT AND URBANISM - Accessibility in the city
In 2020, the Department of Transportation Engineering prepared a publication for the broader public, the aim of which is to present a comprehensive view of the issues of territory and transportation within it. It combines the activities of transportation and urban planning and attempts to define them through the accessibility of people to the territory or the accessibility of the territory to people. The authors present an analysis of the basic necessities in an area where spatial planning must comprehensively address spatial requirements for spatial layout and functional use, together with people's traffic and transport needs. People's needs must be known in sufficient detail, otherwise our cities risk being crippled for generations.
Even if an area only addresses a specific issue of built-up land or major changes in layout and functions from a zoning perspective, its details cannot be resolved without sufficiently detailed context that defines the transport relationships between people in the area and various sources and destinations, and how these are reflected in transport requirements.
At the same time, we should be able to say how our changes will affect our neighbors-neighboring zones or city districts, but also municipalities.
The book is available at Martinus and Panta Rhei bookstores.

* UNIZA Textbook of the Year 2020 Award CEMENT CONCRETE PAVEMENTS AND REINFORCED TRANSPORT AREAS
In December 2020, the rector of the University of Žilina in Žilina, Prof. Ing. Jozef Jandačka, PhD., awarded the authors (including Ing. A. Zuzulová, PhD.) of the publication an award for 2020 in the category: Publishing activity "university textbook".
Cement concrete pavements and reinforced transport areas are intended primarily for students of civil engineering study programs. In addition to its primary educational focus, the publication aims to be useful to professionals in the design of cement concrete (CB) pavements, taking into account the latest scientific knowledge. For this reason, chapters 6 and 7, Design and Assessment of CB Pavements, 9, Innovative Composite Pavement Materials, and 11, Building Information Modeling in Transportation Structures, by renowned experts in the field, have been included in this edition. In writing this textbook, the authors drew on their long-standing research and educational premise that roads should be designed, built, managed, maintained, recycled, and disposed of at a reasonable cost, in reasonable quality, respecting the relevant requirements of users, residents of their surroundings, and the principles of sustainable development throughout their entire life cycle. The textbook is written in full compliance with the provisions of the Road Law, which states that the design of roads is carried out in accordance with valid STN standards, technical regulations, and objectively determined research results. The authors have incorporated the interrelated results of their many years of research activities into the book, enabling the economic and environmental optimization of CB road structures and the reinforcement of traffic areas.
