Mobilidade Sustentável

Theoretical-practical classes will use the expository and inquisitive method to present the different subjects. Various types of analysis will be
carried out on specific cases, leading to the preparation of short written reports, in an environment of guided interaction with the students.
Students do some practical group work, essentially using the concepts they have learned, applied to real situations or discussing a
technical-scientific article (from a magazine or conference) on urban mobility issues.

Knowledge: Relate the concept of mobility in urban space and its role in the sustainable development of cities; study the characteristics of
the transport system and the main constraints on its performance;
Skills: Application of knowledge and understanding; Making judgments and decisions; Communication; Self-learning;
Skills: Understand the complexity, elements and requirements of urban mobility; know the technical solutions to meet the requirements of
mobility and urban logistics; understand the decision-making processes of citizens in the field of mobility; identify and understand innovative
measures for sustainable urban mobility, integrated into a low carbon policy; establish instruments for the management of mobility in urban
environments.

Framing mobility issues: basic concepts; the transport system and urban logistics; land use and implications for mobility; transport planning
tools; sustainable mobility plans;
Mobility management: promoting road safety; accident indicators, detecting accident accumulation sites, interventions to improve road
safety; operations management (intersections, traffic calming and parking); intelligent transport systems;
Sustainable mobility: policies to encourage the use of public transport (notions of public road transport planning, user information systems,
multi- and intermodality, shared transport, modal interfaces); Active mobility (policies and action plans, good practices for design and
operation); Electric mobility (policies and action plans, technological aspects of energy sources, road forms, European programs).
