Learning outcomes
At the end of this module, the student will have the methodological, theoretical and empirical skills for planning, design, simulation and performance evaluation of digitally-empowered civil networks infrastructures, with special emphasis on innovation in people mobility, goods transportation and hydraulic networks, in a context of smart and climate neutral cities.
Course contents
Mod.1 – Smart Infrastructures for Urban Mobility – 3 CFU
Prof. Andrea Simone
Mission: to provide a comprehensive education and training on urban mobility systems and infrastructures in order to be ready for the next years challenges
Outcomes: The lessons will deal with 5 macro-categories in each will be showed both the new technologies applied and the models commonly used:
1- Cooperative, Connected and Autonomous Mobility - autonomous driving; connected infrastructures that can properly interact with CAVs in real urban areas
2- Innovative contracts and sharing systems;
3- Urban Mobility, MaaS (Mobility as a Service) platforms;
4- smart-cities and smart-infrastructures
5- active users (e.g. pedestrians, cyclists, ...); persons with disabilities.
Mod. 2 – Smart Infrastructures for Water networks – 3 CFU
Prof.Cristiana Bragalli
Urban water systems framework - Architecture and components of water systems. Objectives and constraints in the design and management for hydraulic operation and to ensure water quality. Resilience Concept of resilience.
Plants management - Objectives and constraints in plants management. Architecture of the remote control system (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition). Basic and advanced functions of a SCADA system.
Supply networks management - Tasks of supply networks. Objectives and constraints in the management of supply networks. Instruments for hydraulic and water quality monitoring. Control of the hydraulic devices.
Distribution networks management – Tasks of distribution networks. Objectives and constraints in managing distribution networks. Water demand management and remote reading of customers meters (smart meters). Integrated approaches to the pre-localization of water losses.
