Dedication
3h Laboratory classes + 4h 11m Self StudyLearn and practice with usual simulation tools in the transportation modeling industry. Current and future trends in the field. Definition and analysis of relevant parameters for model calibration. Global and local parametrizations. Obtaining valid representative simple or complex indicators for the transport network Introduce and understand the impact of the so-called 'new mobility' elements: electromobility, urban tolling, smart regulation (signaling, bus preemption in a corridor, restrictions, road closures), traffic calming, pedestrianizations, introduction of micro mobility, and connected and autonomous vehicles (CAV). Model building, calibration, and validation, obtaining results of a simulation model. Modal split techniques. Trip assignment techniques: static and dynamic; private and public transport. Key Performance Indicators to understand network performance (private and public transportation) Propose, test, and evaluate new proposals by students to improve the network performance. Apply changes to the network and evaluate its impact, understanding best indicators for the comparison. Discussion on different strategies for sustainable mobility. Understand how to model and simulate some of the external costs of transportation: e.g. emissions.
