THREE-DIMENSIONAL MODELING

Course objectives

The module aims to provide basic knowledge on sustainable mobility to understand how to measure the sustainability of a transport system, how to improve it and which trends will influence it in the near future. In particular, the concept of transport sustainability will be explored, indicators for measuring sustainability will be examined, examples of transport policies will be given (land use and pricing) and current trends in electric, shared, connected and automated mobility and their impact on sustainability will be examined. Finally, the Sustainable Urban Mobility Plan (SUMP) will be introduced with the case study of the Sustainable University Mobility Plan of Sapienza University. At the end of the course, the student will be able: ● to describe the land-use and pricing transport policies and their potential impact on transport demand, safety, environment, society, land use ● to select and use appropriate indicators to measure the sustainability of a transport system ● to identify the most suitable transport policies for improved sustainability of mobility systems
