| EXPECTED LEARNING OUTCOMES AND COMPETENCES. MAIN SKILLS RELATED TO THE PRINCIPLES AND METHODOLOGIES UNDERLYING TRANSPORT TECHNOLOGY AND ECONOMICS WITH SPECIAL REFERENCE TO: 1) TO THE BASIC ELEMENTS RELATED TO TRANSPORT MODES SUCH AS ROAD TRANSPORT, RAIL TRANSPORT, URBAN AND METROPOLITAN TRANSPORT, AND MARITIME TRANSPORT; 2) TO THE USE AND IMPACT OF ADVANCED SYSTEMS WITH A VIEW TO IDENTIFYING SUSTAINABLE MOBILITY SOLUTIONS (INNOVATIVE TRACTION AND CHARGING SYSTEMS, COMPARISON OF IMPACTS-- CONSUMPTION AND EMISSIONS--BETWEEN TRADITIONAL AND INNOVATIVE VEHICLES); 3) TO CONCEPTS OF TRANSPORTATION ECONOMICS FUNCTIONAL TO ESTIMATING TRANSPORTATION PRODUCTION COSTS; ABILITY TO ANALYZE AND INTERPRET TRANSPORTATION ISSUES, EVALUATE AND COMPARE ALTERNATIVE MODES OF TRANSPORTATION TO COMPLEMENT THE TOPICS COVERED IN THE TRANSPORTATION PLANNING COURSE (NON-PREPARATORY). KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING: KNOWLEDGE OF TERMINOLOGY IN THE FIELD OF TRANSPORT TECHNOLOGY AND ECONOMICS AND ABILITY TO UNDERSTAND THE METHODS AND PRINCIPLES UNDERLYING THE ANALYSIS AND DESIGN OF TRANSPORT SYSTEMS. ABILITY TO APPLY KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING: ABILITY TO ANALYSE AND COMPARE TECHNOLOGICAL TRANSPORT SYSTEMS AND TO ELABORATE ALTERNATIVE SOLUTIONS. INDIPENDENCE OF JUDGEMENT: ABILITY TO IDENTIFY THE MOST APPROPRIATE METHODS AND TECHNOLOGIES IN APPLICATION CONTEXTS RELATED TO TRAFFIC NETWORKS AND TRANSPORT SYSTEMS. COMMUNICATION SKILLS: ABILITY TO WORK IN A GROUP AND TO PRESENT A TOPIC RELATED TO MANAGEMENT AND TECHNOLOGICAL TRANSPORT SYSTEMS. LEARNING SKILLS: ABILITY TO APPLY THE KNOWLEDGE ACQUIRED IN DIFFERENT CONTEXTS FROM THOSE PRESENTED DURING THE COURSE, ABILITY TO LEARN AND DEEPEN IN FULL AUTONOMY THE VARIOUS TOPICS COVERED. |

| THE COURSE INCLUDES 60 HOURS OF TEACHING (6 CFU) IN THE FORM OF LECTURES AND HOURS OF NUMERICAL EXERCISES. THE EXERCISES ARE CARRIED OUT AT THE END OF EACH THEORETICAL TOPIC WITH THE AIM OF PROVIDING STUDENTS WITH DIFFERENT APPLICATION EXAMPLES. IN PARTICULAR, THE FOLLOWING ARE EXPLORED IN DEPTH FOR EACH MODE OF TRANSPORT: VEHICLES, COMPONENTS AND INFRASTRUCTURE (INCLUDING CHARGING SYSTEMS FOR INNOVATIVE VEHICLES), THE METHODOLOGY FOR ANALYZING THE INTERACTION BETWEEN VEHICLE AND INFRASTRUCTURE, AND THE INTERACTION BETWEEN VEHICLES (CIRCULATION). THE MAIN TOPICS OF THE COURSE ARE: > INTRODUCTION AND CLASSIFICATION OF MODES OF TRANSPORT (2 HOURS). > RAIL TRANSPORT (10 HOURS OF THEORY AND 8 HOURS OF EXERCISE) - CLASSIFICATION AND VEHICLES COMPONENTS (INCLUDING MOTORS AND CONVERTERS) (1 HOUR) -INFRASTRUCTURE: RAILWAYS AND STATIONS (3 HOURS) - INTERACTIONS BETWEEN VEHICLE AND INFRASTRUCTURE AND IMPACTS (3 HOURS OF THEORY + 6 HOURS OF EXERCISE) - INTERACTIONS BETWEEN VEHICLES: IN-LINE CIRCULATION AND STATIONS (3 HOURS OF THEORY + 2 HOURS OF EXERCISE) > URBAN AND METROPOLITAN COLLECTIVE TRANSPORT (6 HOURS OF THEORY AND 6 HOURS OF EXERCISES) - FREE-GUIDE SYSTEMS WITH ON-BOARD TRACTION MOTOR. ANALYSIS OF DIFFERENT POWER SUPPLIES AND POWERTRAINS. COMPARISON OF CONVENTIONAL AND INNOVATIVE VEHICLES. WELL TO WHEELS ANALYSIS. CHARGING SYSTEMS FOR INNOVATIVE VEHICLES. (2 HOUR). - CAPTIVE GUIDED SYSTEMS WITH TRACTION MOTOR ON BOARD, CAPTIVE-GUIDED SYSTEMS WITH TRACTION MOTOR ON THE GROUND AND WATERWAY TRANSPORTATION SYSTEMS (1 HOUR). - INTERACTIONS BETWEEN VEHICLES, IN-LINE TRAFFIC. IMPACTS OF REPLACING CONVENTIONAL VEHICLES WITH INNOVATIVE ONES (2 HOURS OF THEORY + 6 HOURS OF EXERCISES). > ROAD TRANSPORT (11 HOURS OF THEORY AND 5 HOURS OF EXERCISE) - VEHICLE CLASSIFICATION AND COMPONENTS. ROADS AND TERMINALS (1 HOUR). - VEHICLES AND COMPONENTS. VEHICLE CLASSIFICATION AND POWERTRAIN TYPES (2 HOURS) - INFRASTRUCTURE (ROUTES AND TERMINALS, CHARGING SYSTEMS FOR INNOVATIVE VEHICLES) (1 HOUR.) - VEHICLE-ROUTE INTERACTIONS-IMPACT ANALYSIS: ENERGY CONSUMPTION AND EMISSIONS (4 HOURS THEORY AND 3 HOURS EXERCISES) - VEHICLE-VEHICLE INTERACTIONS: CIRCULATION IN LINE AND AT NODES (3 HOURS THEORY AND 2 HOURS PRACTICE). > MARITIME TRANSPORT (3 HOURS OF THEORY) - VEHICLES CLASSIFICATION AND COMPONENTS (1 HOUR). - INTERACTIONS BETWEEN VEHICLE AND INFRASTRUCTURES (1 HOURS). - ROUTES AND PORTS (1 HOUR). > ECONOMICS OF TRANSPORT (4 HOURS OF THEORY AND 1 HOUR OF EXERCISES) - FINANCIAL ANALYSIS AND ECONOMIC ANALYSIS (1 HOUR) - SUBJECTS AND RELATIVE COSTS (2 HOURS) - COST FUNCTION; DEMAND FUNCTION; SUPPLY-DEMAND BALANCE (2 HOURS) - FARES AND TOLLS (1 HOUR) - EXERCISE (1 HOUR). > INTELLIGENT TRANSPORT SYSTEMS (4 HOURS) (SEMINAR FORMAT) - INTRODUCTORY FRAMEWORK FOR STUDYING V2X INTERACTIONS (1 HOUR). - MOBILITY AS A SERVICE (MAAS) AND SMART MOBILITY SERVICES (2 HOUR) |
| Teaching Methods | |
|---|---|
| THE COURSE CONSISTS OF LECTURES FOR A TOTAL OF 40 HOURS (4 CFU), WHICH ARE HELD IN THE CLASSROOM WITH THE AID OF PROJECTIONS; THERE ARE ALSO NUMERICAL EXERCISES IN THE CLASSROOM FOR A TOTAL OF 20 HOURS (2 CFU). IN THE CLASSROOM EXERCISES, STUDENTS ARE GIVEN NUMERICAL EXAMPLES WITH REFERENCE TO EACH MODE OF TRANSPORT STUDIED. THE APPROACH PURSUED PLACES PARTICULAR EMPHASIS ON THE ACQUISITION OF BASIC METHODS FOR ANALYSIS AND DESIGN WITH REFERENCE TO THE MODES OF TRANSPORT STUDIED DURING THE THEORY LESSONS. ATTENDANCE AT THE COURSE IS COMPULSORY IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE CURRENT TEACHING REGULATIONS. |
| Verification of learning | |
|---|---|
| THE ACHIEVING OF THE TEACHING OBJECTIVES IS CERTIFIED BY PASSING A WRITTEN EXAM. THE ASSESSMENT OF THE EXAM IS IN THIRTIETHS AND IS CONSIDERED PASSED, THAT IS, HAVING REACHED THE MINIMUM LEVEL OF LEARNING, WITH THE MINIMUM GRADE OF 18/30. STUDENTS WHO ACHIEVE A GRADE OF 30/30 BY ANSWERING AN ADDITIONAL QUESTION ARE ELIGIBLE FOR HONORS. THE WRITTEN TEST CONSISTS IN A MULTIPLE RESPONSE TEST ON THE TOPICS OF THE TEACHING PROGRAM. IT IS IN ONE HOURS AND 30 MINUTES AND IS FINALIZED TO CHECK THE CAPACITY TO COMPLY WITH THE PROBLEMS PROPOSED IN THE COURSE, THE CAPACITY TO APPLY CORRECTLY TO THEORETICAL KNOWLEDGE, THE ABILITY TO FORMULATE APPROPRIATE APPROVAL FOR SOLVING PROPOSED PROBLEMS. DURING THE TEST IS FORBIDDEN TO CONSULT TEXTS OR USE PC OR SMART PHONE WHILST STUDENTS ARE AUTHORISED TO USE THE CALCULATOR. THE PROPOSED QUESTIONS ARE CONGRUENT WITH THE TOPICS TREATED IN THE COURSE. THE TEST INCLUDES QUESTIONS FOR EACH OF THE MACROS – SUBJECTS OF THE COURSE (ROAD TRANSPORT, RAILWAY TRANSPORT, MARITIME TRANSPORT, URBAN AND METROPOLITAN TRANSPORTATION, TRANSPORT ECONOMY). AS REGARDS THE TIMING, THE WRITTEN TEST CAN BE ACHIEVED EITHER BY MEANS OF THREE IN-SESSION TESTS OR BY MEANS OF A SINGLE FINAL TEST IN THE PRE-APPEAL OR IN THE EXAMINATION SESSIONS AT THE END OF THE COURSE. |
