Educational Goals

This course is a highly recommended for the transport engineer training curriculum, as it presents the problems and the methods of planning intervention regarding the urban mobility.
Beginning from the analysis of the various collective transport systems, from the main characteristics of the urban flow and the integration of technologies between these different systems, with the fundamental knowledge support of the legislation regarding transport planning, the student is able to plan the project of a transport system in an urban area, with the aim of methodological experimentation directed on a real case.

Content

The main topics are the following:
Urban mobility introduction
Collective transport (planning, design and monitoring)
Individual transport (Traffic flow theory, Interrupted and uninterrupted flow; level of service methodology for type of intersection)
Intelligent Transport Systems for urban mobility (traffic detection and location technologies, applications)
Economic and financial evaluation of an urban mobility project)

Extended Syllabus

The course is composed by theoretical and practical lectures.
The treated arguments are the following:

PART I - Introduction to urban mobility: The mobility of people; Introduction and urban mobility.
PART II - Collective transport: Characteristics of CT systems; Vehicle characteristics; Supply and demand data to size the TC service; Assignment model in high frequency services; Setting the frequencies and hedways between vehicles; Timetable construction; design of a bus line; Quality of collective transport according to the USA approach (TCQSM methods); Quality of collective transport according to the European approach (Standards 13816; 2002; 15140: 2006); Exercises and examples
PART III - Individual transport:
Introduction to individual transport; Basic notions of vehicular flow theory; Uninterrupted flow (flow parameters; Fundamental flow equation; Relationships between flow-speed; speed-density curves; flow-density, Service levels); Interrupted outflow (interrupted flow roads - traffic junctions; method for choosing the regulation of an intersection; methods for verifying the service levels of the unsignalized intersections; methods for verifying the service levels of signalized intersections. Methods for verifying roundabout service levels)
PART IV - Intelligent transport systems for urban mobility: Introductory concepts; Fixed (intrusive, non-intrusive) and mobile (Floating Car Data) traffic detection technologies; Procedure for choosing a technology: Vehicle location systems for mobile devices (Inertial navigation systems; short-range position systems; cellular based systems; satellite systems (GPS); Data transmission & Geographic information systems (outline); ITS applications for individual transport and for collective transport
PART V - Economic and financial evaluation of an urban mobility project: Benefit - cost and multicriteria analysis. Theory and exercises.

The exercise will consist in the realization of a project applied to a real case.

Conventional

Teaching Methods

Lectures and frontal exercises.
Moreover, the topics addressed during the lectures will be applied in a project developed during the course. Some of the themes might be deepen in seminars tought by expertes of transport field.
Moreover, visits to innovative transport system plant will be organised.

Assessment Methods

The exam consists in an interview about the themes treated and the discussion of the project developed during the course.
During the year will be devised writing tests, in order to verify the learning progress of the students.
