Ingeniería de Tráfico (Coursera)

Ingeniería de Tráfico (Coursera)

El curso presenta en primer lugar las principales relaciones que caracterizan la circulación de vehículos y que dan pie a la teoría de circulación de vehículos sobre redes de transporte. Posteriormente se discutirán aspectos relativos al control de tráfico en intersecciones, sean estas de prioridad o semaforizadas. Finalmente, discutiremos sobre las características que presentan algunos modelos dinámicos de tráfico bastante utilizados en la actualidad.

Syllabus

WEEK 1
Introducción del curso
Este módulo contiene una breve reseña histórica acerca del desarrollo de la ingeniería de tráfico a nivel global y local. También se presenta el diagrama x-t o trayectoria versus tiempo y algunas definiciones fundamentales para comprender los contenidos del curso

WEEK 2
Relación fundamental de tráfico
En este módulo se presenta la relación fundamental de tráfico y sus propiedades. También se presenta el diagrama fundamental de tráfico (q-k), sus aplicaciones y algunos modelos propuestos que se pueden ajustar a partir de esta relación.

WEEK 3
Control de tráfico en intersecciones
El siguiente módulo presenta las diferentes formas existentes para controlar el funcionamiento de una intersección vial. Particularmente, se detallan modelos asociados a intersecciones prioritarias e intersecciones semaforizadas, sus características e indicadores de rendimiento y funcionamiento.

WEEK 4
Modelos Dinámicos de tráfico
En este módulo se presentan los diferentes tipos de modelos que estudia la teoría de tráfico, los que se pueden dividir en modelos macroscópicos y microscópicos. Dentro de los modelos macroscópicos este módulo se enfocará en el modelo LWR, su funcionamiento y aplicaciones. Por el lado de los modelos microscópicos, se presentan modelos de seguimiento vehicular como el Modelo GM y el Modelo de Newell.

Chemical Engineering Thermodynamics 2 (Coursera)

An appreciation of thermodynamics is required to become a chemical and biomolecular engineer. Thermodynamics can assess the viability of a process and is one of the curriculum's most essential topics. The principles are utilized in following engineering courses (kinetics, mass transfer, design, materials) and are applicable to numerous engineering disciplines. The increased emphasis on energy usage and transformation as a result of rising demand, diminishing supply, and global warming necessitates that the engineers who will tackle these issues have a firm grasp of thermodynamics.
