The teaching unit aims at providing the basic concepts on transport systems and logistics systems.
Particular attention will be paid to maritime transport and logistics port operations.
In particular, the teaching unit provides the capability to represent, simulate, and optimize goods and people flows in both the "sea side" and "land side" of port terminals.
The teaching unit aims at providing the basics of transport systems and logistics, with a particular focus on maritime and port related operations. More in detail, the course will provide the capability of assessing the performance and designing the functional characteristics of freight and passenger terminals by means of modelling, simulating, and optimizing tools, both form the seaside and ground-side points of view. Technical, economic, and environmental aspects will be also considered.
Attendance and active participation in the proposed training activities (lectures and laboratory activities) and Individual study will allow the student to:
The following basic knowledge are required to profitably attend the teaching unit: Basic calculus and optimization
Lectures consist of classes (60%) and laboratory activities (40%)
Working students and students with certified SLD (Specific Learning Disorders), disability or other special educational needs are advised to contact the teacher at the beginning of the course to agree on teaching and examination arrangements so to take into account individual learning patterns, while respecting the teaching objectives.

The exam will consist of a test on theory (weight: 1/3 of the final mark) and practical activity on the simulations (weight: 2/3 of the final mark).
Students with learning disorders ("Disturbi Specifici di Apprendimento", DSA) will be allowed to use specific modalities and supports that will be determined on a case-by-case basis in agreement with the delegate of the Engineering courses in the Committee for the Inclusion of Students with Disabilities.
With the test, it will be assessed:
With the practical part of the exam, it will be assessed:
