Transportation Systems Theory (MSc)
The Transportation Systems Theory master course comprehensively explores the interplay between transportation networks, infrastructure, and societal development. It covers historical and technological milestones shaping mobility, analyzes spatial and temporal factors influencing transport efficiency, and delves into the dynamics of transportation systems, including mass transit, urban mobility, and logistics. Key topics include the development of transport networks, consolidation and disaggregation of flows, digitalization through Mobility-as-a-Service (MaaS), and emerging technologies like autonomous vehicles and electric mobility. The lectures emphasize sustainability, efficiency, and resilience in designing future transportation systems, addressing the environmental impact, energy consumption, and urbanization challenges. With a focus on integrating regulatory, physical, and digital elements, the series equips students with a holistic understanding of the complexities and innovations driving modern mobility solutions.
