Introducción a los modelos de demanda de transporte (Coursera)

Introducción a los modelos de demanda de transporte (Coursera)

¿Cuántos viajan? ¿Por dónde? ¿En qué modo? En general, los proyectos de transporte (tanto de infraestructura como gestión) poseen plazos y costos de realización sumamente elevados. Por estos motivos, la evaluación de este tipo de proyectos requiere de una adecuada estimación de la demanda para su correcto dimensionamiento.

En este curso aprenderás:

  • Las técnicas básicas (estadísticas y de trabajo en terreno) necesarias para recolectar información adecuada, corregirla y expandirla, para su utilización en modelar la demanda por transporte.
  • Los principios básicos y las técnicas clásicas utilizadas en la práctica para modelar la demanda de transporte a través del “modelo clásico” de cinco etapas: generación de viajes, distribución de viajes, elección de horario, elección de modo de transporte, y elección de ruta de viaje.
  • Las herramientas básicas disponibles para calibrar los principales modelos agregados de demanda por transporte y aplicarlos para efectuar predicciones.
  • Las herramientas estadísticas y computacionales básicas para estimar dos modelos paradigmáticos de elección discreta (Logit Multinomial y Logit Jerárquico) utilizando información a nivel desagregado, y aplicarlos para efectuar predicciones.

Introduction to Acoustics (Part 2) (Coursera)

Learners might have learned the basic concepts of the acoustics from the ‘Introduction to Acoustics (Part 1).’ Now it is time to apply to the real situation and develop their own acoustical application. Learners will analyze the radiation, scattering, and diffraction phenomenon with the Kirchhoff –Helmholtz Equation. Then learners will design their own reverberation room or ducts that fulfill the condition they have set up.

Mécanique Lagrangienne (Coursera)

Le formalisme de Lagrange permet une résolution efficace de problèmes complexes de mécanique. Il permet aussi d'apporter un éclairage plus fondamental sur les lois de conservation (théorème de Noether). A titre d'illustration de la méthode de Lagrange, on traitera le problème très important des oscillateurs harmoniques couplés, exprimé comme un problème de valeurs propres et de vecteurs propres. On termine avec un formalisme permettant d'analyser les résonances paramétriques, notion illustrée par l'expérience montrant la stabilité d'un pendule inversé forcé.

Material Behavior (Coursera)

Have you ever wondered why ceramics are hard and brittle while metals tend to be ductile? Why some materials conduct heat or electricity while others are insulators? Why adding just a small amount of carbon to iron results in an alloy that is so much stronger than the base metal? In this course, you will learn how a material’s properties are determined by the microstructure of the material, which is in turn determined by composition and the processing that the material has undergone.
