| Learning Outcomes
The students recognize (optimization) problems in (sustainable) transport logistics and can formulate them in a structured (mathematical) manner. They understand the concepts and algorithms that are used as standard to solve these problems, know their advantages and disadvantages and can thus make informed decisions about their potential use in transport planning.

Learning Outcomes
- LO2: Students are able to formulate (optimization) problems of (sustainable) transport logistics in a structured (mathematical) manner.
- LO3: Students are able to apply the concepts and algorithms that are normally used to solve these problems to simple case study problems.
|
Learning Outcomes
- LO1: Students know the basic (optimization) problems of (sustainable) transport logistics and the respective solution approaches. This includes basic graph theory concepts, shortest path algorithms, the traveling salesman problem, vehicle routing problems, network optimization and the respective basic exact and heuristic solution methods, as well as applications in different areas, such as city logistics, disaster relief or last mile delivery.

| 87.5-100-0 | Very good |
| 75.0-87.0 | Good |
| 62.5-74.5 | Satisfactory |
| 50.0-62.0 | Sufficient |
| 0-49.5 | Insufficient |
Exam:
Homework examples:
- There are homework examples that must be submitted via Moodle and are presented and discussed by the students in the units.
Synchronization of learning outcomes and assessment:
- LO1: exam + homework examples
- LO2: exam + homework examples
- LO3: exam + homework examples

| Methods |
The course uses a combination of different teaching methods to:
- maximize student motivation and attention.
- achieve the learning objectives in the best didactically possible way.
This includes the following:
- Information input by the teacher, supported by slides and literature
- Development of content in collaboration with the students on the board.
- Development of solutions to practice problems in small groups followed by joint discussion.
