DEMONSTRATION OF THE SYLLABUS COHERENCE WITH THE CURRICULAR UNIT'S 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 management requirement.
This course will be based on the oral presentation of themes, their framework and on students orientation regarding their assignments. Texts which act as a support of theoretical classes, will be available.
DEMONSTRATION OF THE COHERENCE BETWEEN THE TEACHING METHODOLOGIES AND THE LEARNING OUTCOMES:
Oral and written communication associated to the planning work. Conception, design and implementation of solutions for transport and mobility management measures. Implementation of practical work applying surveys and scores. Organization of database and its treatment. Interpretation of data and diagnoses. Comparison with known cases. Propose new solutions and fits them into different evolutionary scenarios. To criticize the methodologies used and drawn conclusions.
