Learning outcomes |
The following competencies will be developed in this curricular unit:
a) Domain street intersection’s design in urban areas, including priority intersections, roundabouts and signalized
intersections.
b) Understanding the need for urban planning integrating mobility policies.
c) Understanding general concepts and data collection processes required in traffic studies and transport planning.
d) Understanding the concept of sustainable urban mobility in its different features: pedestrian, access for people with
disabilities, or special needs, non-motorized (cycling) and motorized modes.
e) Understanding the different urban transport subsystems: Parking Policy and Management, Public Transportation,
