Learn about the so call “vulnerable users” and get a good understanding of some of the main challenges and effective interventions for safe urban mobility. Do you know that in most of the Latin America and the Caribbean countries more than half of the road traffic fatalities are “vulnerable users”? Studies have shown that most of the world’s traffic deaths and injuries occur in low- and middle-income countries—and the share is rising; more than half of the victims will be pedestrians and cyclists in urban areas. Low- and middle-income countries also have higher levels of traffic deaths among pedestrians, bicyclists, and motorcyclists.

Supply Chain Technology and Systems (edX)

Management & Leadership Engineering

Learn how technology is used in supply chain systems from fundamental concepts to innovative applications. There are underlying fundamental principles and concepts that apply to all supply chains, which can be expressed in relatively straightforward models. However, to actually implement them across a real supply chain requires the use of technology across multiple systems. Supply chains have a long history of using technology to improve efficiency and effectiveness. The shear scale and scope of most supply chains require many distinct systems to interact with each other.
