Reviews summary

Fundamentos y métodos de análisis de transporte

Según se infiere de posibles opiniones de estudiantes, este curso probablemente proporciona una base sólida en las metodologías fundamentales para el análisis de sistemas de transporte. Se esperaría que los alumnos valoren la cobertura de modelos clave como los de demanda y equilibrio de red, y la introducción a la evaluación social de proyectos. Es posible que algunos encuentren los temas matemáticos, como la teoría de colas o los modelos logit, conceptualmente desafiantes sin una base cuantitativa previa. Aunque cubre técnicas usadas en la práctica, el enfoque general podría ser principalmente teórico.
