The activities of the department are oriented towards applied research in the development, construction and operation of railway vehicles. Research on dynamic properties of railway vehicles and ways of reducing the stresses on the road, research on material properties and their application in the construction of railway vehicles and the manufacture of their components and much more.

The laboratory conducts research in the field of interacting compounds, semiconducting glasses and thermoelectric materials. It has three research teams working in the areas of non-crystalline materials, layered semiconductors with tetradymite structure and chemistry of non-graphite intercalates.

Teaching and research facilities dealing with the properties of building materials, construction of transport structures, geological and geotechnical influences on transport structures, theory of transport vehicles from the point of view of design, hydraulics, diagnostics, electrical and electrical engineering.

The company provides analytical laboratory services and is the exclusive distributor of RECIPE.

The laboratory brings together faculty departments to carry out load tests on bridges, determine the physical properties of soils, measure noise and vibration or determine the driving characteristics of rolling stock. It performs both non-accredited and accredited tests that assess the condition of road and rail bridges.

The laboratory is engaged in scientific activities in the field of transport services, transport rationalization and optimization of logistics chains and provides national and international rail transport. It also educates and trains students for practical commercial and freight forwarding activities.
