Objectives

Transport system planning is an essential subject for the organization of territorial accessibility, either at regional or urban level. Mobility is the result (propensity) of the transport system use. As the mobility of people and goods are essential to the competitiveness and sustainability of the urban system, it is essential to know the factors that characterize the mobility pattern and what is the planning margin of maneuver from the point of view for providing services and infrastructure and the demand management requirement.

This course aims to acquaint students with the planning and organisation of the transports systems in urban areas, with special emphasis in its conceptual characteristics and experimental process.
