Transport Systems Design is the engineering discipline that provides the methodologies for modelling and designing transport systems with a holistic approach and by means of appropriate mathematical and modelling tools.
The goal of the course is providing the principles of transport planning in relation to different geographic and temporal scales, the functional design of transport infrastructures and services, as well as the tools for evaluating the economic convenience and sustainability. In doing so, some relevant cases will be considered with the aim of introducing modern design techniques: OD matrix estimation and calibration, network design, public transport and car-sharing design, traffic light design.
After the course, the student shall know and shall be able to apply, through dedicated optimization and simulations software tools, basic and advanced notions about:
Students should be familiar with probability, transport supply, demand, and assignment models.
Class lectures (approximately 70% of the lessons) and software laboratory exercises (approximately 30% of the lessons).
The course is articulated in four main topics:
