The aim of the course is to provide students with the basic knowledge of transport planning, demand, supply and interaction demand-supply modelling and design a simple and isolated signalized intersection D1 - Knowledge and understanding At the end of the course, the student will have to know the basic aspects of the transport system, the methodologies for transport planning and the basic elements for the design and assessment of a signalized intersection. D2 - Applying knowledge and understanding The student must be able to use specific SW tools and design and verify a signalized intersection. D3 - Making judgements At the end of the course the student must be able to carry out a critical examination of the correct application of the knowledge acquired and applied to the design. D4 - Communication At the end of the course the student must be able to explain correctly and with the correct use of the technical terms the knowledge and practical skills acquired D5 - Lifelong learning skills The student must be able to deal with the study of more complex aspects related to transport planning and design in subsequent courses or during the professional life.

Lectures and practical exercise

Oral Exams with some questions and exercise discussion 2 exercises: the first one referred to the use of SW VISUM and the second one is the design of a simple and isolated signalized intersection. The evaluation will consider: correctness and completeness of the answers, use of correct technical language, possible connections with different elements of the discipline, care in the execution of the exercises
