	Objectives
	EXPECTED LEARNING RESULTS AND SKILLS TO ACQUIRE: Learn the theoretical and application features of the tools adopted by the modern transport systems design, based on mathematical models of transportation supply, travel demand, and their interaction and on continuous and / or discrete optimization techniques , by deepening the methods for the control and management of an urban transport network with known or detected flows, and the extensions to the control and management with equilibrium flows; larn the theoretical and applicative features of the tools used to evaluate interventions on a transport system. KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING: Understanding the properties of the various methods for controlling and managing an urban transportation network and the methods for evaluating interventions; knowledge of continuous or discrete optimization techniques. APPLYING KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING: Ability to define control and management strategies for a transportation network implemented in commercial SW, and to evaluate the effects of interventions on a transportation system. MAKING JUDGEMENTS: To find the most appropriate control and management methods with respect to the transportation system to be analyzed COMMUNICATION SKILLS: Know how to work in a group, write down a technical report, and present them orally. LEARNING SKILLS: Know how to apply the acquired knowledge and know how to learn the new evolutions of knowledge independently.

	Teaching Methods
	1 CREDIT EQUALS TO ABOUT 7 HOURS OF LESSONS, 3 HOURS OF ADDITIONAL ACTIVITIES, INCLUDING EXERCISES WITH ACTIVE PARTICIPATION AND SEMINARS. A PROJECT WORK IS DEVELOPED DURING THE COURSE.

	Verification of learning
	The achievement of the objectives of the course is certified by passing an exam with score in the range [0-30] over 30 (the minimum for passing the exam is 18/30). The examination involves an oral test, lasting about 30 minutes. The oral test consists of a discussion concerning a preliminary presentation of the work done during the course followed by a discussion on the theoretical and methodological contents indicated in the teaching program; it is aimed at verifying the level of knowledge and understanding acquired by the student, as well as in verifying the ability of exposure using the appropriate terminology and the ability to organize the exhibition on the same subjects with theoretical content. A "with honors" can be attributed to students who reach the maximum vote of 30/30 and demonstrate that they are able to apply their knowledge and skills beyond the contexts of lessons learned.
