CODE 90491 ACADEMIC YEAR 2021/2022 CREDITS 5 cfu anno 2 SAFETY ENGINEERING FOR TRANSPORT, LOGISTICS AND PRODUCTION 10377 (LM-26) - GENOVA SCIENTIFIC DISCIPLINARY SECTOR ICAR/05 TEACHING LOCATION GENOVA SEMESTER 1° Semester MODULES Questo insegnamento è un modulo di: RESILIENT LOGISTICS AND SUPPLY CHAIN MANAGEMENT TEACHING MATERIALS AULAWEB OVERVIEW The smart and safe logistics course provides some specialized skills on logistic and freight transport systems, with a particular focus on automated transport systems. The course is very practical and the objectives include the acquisition of skills in the use of simulation softwares. During the course, safe and security issues in logistic and transportation systems are also addressed with particular reference to the transport of dangerous goods. AIMS AND CONTENT LEARNING OUTCOMES The aim of the course is to provide a set of methodological and technical knowledge to define models for analyzing and improving modern logistic systems, which make a large use of intelligent systems to make the transport of goods smarter and safer. The method of discrete event simulation will be treated in detail, both from a theoretical and practical point of view, and at the end of the course the student will be able to develop and use simulation models of complex logistic systems. New paradigms of planning and management of logistic networks will be illustrated, and the specific case of dangerous goods will be considered, for which the main methods for assessing safety in this type of transport will be illustrated. AIMS AND LEARNING OUTCOMES At the end of the course the student will have acquired a set of notions for the analysis and management of smart and automated logistic and transport systems. During the course the student acquires - live during the lesson - significant skills in the use of simulation softwares and other software tools. PREREQUISITES No specific prerequisite is required. TEACHING METHODS The course takes place in a classroom or in the transportation systems engineering lab. During the lessons, the professor shows slides (which are made available to the students through Aulaweb, before the lesson) on the various topics of the course and shows how to build simulation and optimization models for logistics systems (with softwares that can be used at the same time also by the students). In the 2021/22 academic year, due to the Covid-19 pandemic, lessons can be held in a different way, according to the rules defined by the University of Genoa. SYLLABUS/CONTENT Introduction to logistic systems and freight transportation Introduction to simulation Discrete-event simulation Simulation models for logistics and transportation Automated transport systems Safe and security issues in logistic and transportation systems TEACHERS AND EXAM BOARD DAVIDE GIGLIO Ricevimento: The professor receives by appointment (write an email to fix the appointment). Exam Board ROBERTO REVETRIA (President) EMANUELE MORRA DAVIDE GIGLIO (President Substitute) LESSONS Class schedule The timetable for this course is available here: Portale EasyAcademy EXAMS EXAM DESCRIPTION The exam consists of a practical test with an oral discussion. ASSESSMENT METHODS The student's assessment is carried out through a practical test in which the student is asked to use and possibly modify some models of logistic systems. The student must demonstrate that he/she has acquired a sufficient knowledge of the topics illustrated in class and that he/she is able to use the tools for analysis and management of logistic systems.
