Objectives and competences
The objectives of the course are to:
• identify the characteristics of mobility of people and goods,
• theoretically define and practically explain the structure, standards and impacts of a smart city,
• theoretically define smart mobility of people and goods in urban environments and transfer this to practical examples,
• identify ITS systems for access restrictions and their practical transfer to real problems,
• theoretically define road safety in smart mobility and practically explain the impact of safety on mobility,
• practically explain the approach to solving the problems of smart and safe mobility of people and goods.
Competences acquired by students:
• get to know and understand the system and elements of smart and safe mobility of people and goods,
• get to know and understand ITS systems for restricting access to urban centers,
• get to know and understand the impact of road safety on the mobility of people/goods,
• are trained to analyze, critically evaluate and design individual elements of smart mobility of people/goods,
• are trained to transfer theoretical knowledge to practical problems.
Content (Syllabus outline)
• Smart cities (structure, standards, ecological and social impacts of a smart city).
• Mobility of people and goods (mobility management techniques and instruments, MaaS, MoD, mobility plans, principles of integrated planning).
• Smart mobility of people and goods in urban areas and communities (mobility systems and control/information centers, collective mobility and vehicle sharing, city/urban distribution logistics concepts and consolidation centers, commodity flows).
• ITS in conjunction with systems for restricting access to urban centers (environmental zones/schemes, parking control and regulation, ITS in public transport, interoperability, RFID and NFC technologies.
• Traffic safety in the context of smart mobility.
Intended learning outcomes - knowledge and understanding
Knowledge and understanding:
After completion of the course, the student will be able to:
• understand the importance of an established mobility system in the logistics system,
• understand and define the elements of a smart city and the mobility system within it,
• evaluate the importance of the traffic safety aspect in the logistics system,
• organize the movement of people/goods within smart urban centers,
• collect data on individual elements of smart and safe mobility of people/goods, then analyze and evaluate them, and decide on proposals.
