How you'll learn
Fully 100% online training on the SEIUM campus, with downloadable material, recorded classes and an assigned technical tutor. No fixed timetables: students progress at their own pace within the intake, which makes it possible to combine study with work.
Each module combines theory, guided reading of the original standard and applied exercises. The working software is QGIS, Python (GeoPandas, OR-Tools), PostgreSQL/PostGIS, Kepler.gl, Tableau, in free, academic or evaluation versions. The case studies are based on real procedures: origin-destination analysis of moped sharing trips in QGIS, route optimisation for battery swapping, and drafting the technical specification of a municipal sharing tender. Assessment is continuous per module plus the final integrative project.
Build it end to end
Your final project follows the real engineering workflow, step by step, reviewed by your tutor.
Compare the business models and operations of shared micromobility.
Organise street operations: rebalancing, battery swapping and maintenance.
Use the GBFS and MDS standards to exchange data with cities.
Analyse spatial and temporal demand using GIS tools.
Optimise routes and fleet sizing using quantitative methods.
