Tools for Traffic and Transportation Management

The Course on "Tools for Traffic and Transportation Management" comprises three modules with which it seeks to acquire tools that allow the members of the GAD's to strengthen traffic management, control vehicle technical review centers and contribute with policies for the reduction of fuel consumption and vehicle emissions, all applied to the reality of small to intermediate cantons, which are the vast majority in our province and country.

Specific objectives:

Apply tools and strategies for traffic management.

Identify the characteristics of a Vehicle Technical Review Center

Identify strategies to reduce fuel consumption and vehicle emissions in our cities

Methodology:

Contact hours: Keynote talks, interactive classes.

Autonomous work: Specific applications of the topics seen in class.

Laboratory practices: 1. Traffic simulation; 2. Eco-driving; 3. Measurement of fuel consumption in a vehicle.

Evaluation system:
