The Mobility and Transport curricular unit aims to provide students with knowledge about transport planning and mobility management, as well as R&D skills and competences in this field.
During the semester the student will develop the following competences:
a) To master the basic principles of road networks organization, modal and functional segregation, and road hierarchy.
b) To master the methodology to compute level of service in different transport infrastructures.
c) To master the specificities of the different urban transport subsystems: Parking Policy and Management, Public Transport, Traffic Calming and Pedestrian System.
d) Understand the need for urban planning integrating mobility policies and the specificities of transport modelling, namely the classic four-step model.
e) Recognition of the different mathematical models used in transportation planning.
