SUSTAINABLE MOBILITY

SUSTAINABLE MOBILITY

In a sustainable mobility course, students consider a broad spectrum of topics revolving around transportation and its impacts on the environment, society, and economy.

The first part of the course focuses on definition of sustainable mobility, understanding its principles, and recognizing its importance in contemporary contexts. Then, students explore diverse transportation systems including multimodal mobility solutions, micromobility, sustainable movement of freight within urban areas.

Students also receive principles of urban planning and design of strategies for urban development and transportation networks conducive to walking, cycling, and public transit infrastructure. Methods for making these modes of transportation more sustainable in the city or traffic generator are considered, including transport policies, land use policies as well as incentives affecting user behavior.

Moreover, the course explores basic methods of assessment of the sustainability level of transport systems, e.g. based on CO2 emission calculations, as well as problems and limitations related to these methods.

The course is a part of a whole Master’s Programme on IT4SSM (IT for Smart and Sustainable Mobility) offered by EUNICE. For details please check here.
