Learning outcomes |
The course aims to provide to students the necessary skills for the use of Geographic Information Systems as a tool to support the management of transportation infrastructures (assets and mobility). The following competencies are transmitted to students: (a) Understanding and identifying particular aspects of asset management and mobility in transportation infrastructures (especially for road/pedestrian/cycling networks). (b) Ability to build a GIS model to support the management of a transportation infrastructure (global organization of the model, database structure, treatment, organization and exploration of data).

Teaching Methodologies and Assessment Criteria |
This course takes place during the 2nd semester and consists of 30 hours of contact with the teacher, 128 hours of student autonomous work and 10 hours for evaluation (total: 168 hours). The course is credited with 6 ECTS. The course is structured with theoretical classes T (comprehensive learning of facts, concepts and principles) and theoretical-practical classes – TP (presentation of small practical examples, application of theoretical concepts to solve practical problems and development of a GIS model to support transportation infrastructure management).
Evaluation is performed with one practical individual work (GIS project) and project presentation (85% project + 15% presentation). Admitted students can take the final exam. The assessment criteria may be reviewed annually in accordance with the UBI General Knowledge Assessment Rules.
