How you'll learn
100 % online training on the SEIUM Institute campus, with downloadable material, recorded classes and assigned technical tutor. No fixed timetables: students progress at their own pace within the intake, making it easy to combine with work.
Each module combines theory, guided reading of the original standard and applied exercises. The working software is Python (geopandas), SUMO (traffic simulation), QGIS, R (mgcv), in free, academic or evaluation versions. Tests are studied using real procedures for micromobility accident models, traffic scenario simulation and spatial analysis of black spots. Assessment is continuous by module plus the final integrating project.
Build it end to end
Your final project follows the real engineering workflow, step by step, reviewed by your tutor.
Characterise the risks of smart urban mobility.
Integrate mobility, traffic and accident data.
Apply statistical and machine learning models to risk.
Simulate scenarios with connected and automated vehicles.
Apply the models to pricing and prevention.
Where this takes you
Requirements
