Introduction The focus of this CAS is to prepare the attendees to tackle the issues of transportation planning and management. It will address specific operational subject matters in both goods and passenger transport fields in the public and partially in the private sectors. This course will cover issues with an industry-minded approach covering topics such as intermodal passenger/goods transport, capacity planning, environmental impacts, and exchange hubs related to mobility and transportation.
This CAS is included into the MAS Railways and Sustainable Mobility (RSM). It trains both technical and management leaders, seeking a career in the transportation industry or in the public/private sectors of mobility & transportation. The participants acquire the skills needed in departments such as research and development, production, consultancy and public institutions. They will also acquire the knowledge for managing complex interdisciplinary projects.
The participants are going to study public transportation and planning in a wide context related to an integrated mobility. They will learn about the possible interconnection of different transport systems, how to efficiently design a public transportation system, how to calculate footprint emissions of a system, about freight cooperation and interaction between road and rail and much more. This new course will allow the attendees to be at ease in every situation. It will not matter if the topic is related to the transport of person or freight, the participants will receive the knowledgeable and reliable counterpart.
