Smart Mobility and connectivity in transport and logistics

Smart mobility and connectivity in transport and logistics

Overview

To train students in the analysis, design and proposal of smart and connected mobility solutions in transport and logistics, identifying emerging technologies and trends, selecting efficient and interoperable options and promoting sustainable and integrated transport models in real production environments.

Goals

To train students in the competence to analyze, design and propose smart and connected mobility solutions in the field of transport and logistics, identifying key technologies and emerging trends, selecting the most appropriate options in terms of interoperability and efficiency, and promoting sustainable and integrated transport models in real production contexts.

Access requirements

A university degree is not required, but the following requirements must be met:

  • To hold a Baccalaureate degree or equivalent professional certificate, or another official Spanish qualification or another issued by an institution of a Member State of the European Education Area.
  • People with a degree issued by educational systems outside the EHEA may also access the program without prior validation; in these cases, the academic management will submit a report to the Academic Commission, which will authorize or deny access (without this implying validation or recognition for other purposes).
  • Have a National Identity Document or equivalent document that proves residence permit in Spain during the period of making the microcredential.
  • Be between 25 and 64 years old on the date the training begins.
  • Admission will be on a first-come, first-served basis until the maximum number of places is reached. 51% of the places will be reserved for students with a disability rating of 33% or higher.
  • In case of inadmissibility, a claim may be filed with the Subcommittee on Own Degrees and Microcredentials and, subsequently, an appeal to the Rectorate.
  • If vacancies remain after the regular registration period, the administration may open an extraordinary pre-registration period. Priority will be given to students who have previously completed any of the micro-credentials within the aforementioned pathway.

Academic program

Contents

The microcredential offers an applied perspective on smart mobility and connectivity in transport and logistics. Through practical case studies and real-world examples, students analyze new transport models, the technologies that enable them, and the opportunities they create for more efficient, collaborative, and sustainable mobility in the context of digitalization.

  • Connectivity and interoperability in transport systems.
  • Key technologies for interoperability in transport and logistics.
  • New transport models: MaaS, carsharing, carpooling, crossdocking, ITS, autonomous vehicles, among others.
  • Technological integration in mobility.
  • Shared and collaborative mobility.
  • Crossdocking and smart logistics.
  • Intelligent transportation systems.
  • Connected and autonomous vehicles.
  • Electric mobility and smart infrastructure.

Methodology and activities

Regarding the way to organize the teaching to achieve the objectives set out in the micro-credential, the organizational modality summarized below will be followed:

  • MD1. Lectures/expository method: presentation or explanation by the teaching staff.
  • MD3. Seminars: completing exercises, solving problems or practical cases, others.
  • MD4. Individual work: individual preparation of assignments/projects/reports, portfolio, …
  • MD6. Personal study: preparation for tests, exams, etc.
  • MD7. Assessment: written, oral, practical tests, …

Evaluation criteria

The microcredential will have an evaluation system (ES) based on the following assessment tests:

  • SE1. Objective tests (true/false, multiple choice, test type, fill-in-the-blank, ordering, etc.): These are measurement instruments that allow the evaluation of knowledge, skills, performance, aptitudes, etc. The answers are closed, and objectivity is favored when correcting them.
  • SE5. Case, exercise and problem resolution: tests in which students must solve, in a reasoned manner, within a certain time, and according to the established criteria, the cases, exercises or problems posed by the teaching staff, with the aim of applying the knowledge acquired.
