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.

Designing Effective Science Communication (Coursera)

Although many would prefer to leave science in the past and no longer engage with it once completing compulsory science classes in school, the reality is that engaging with science is an integral part of our daily lives. Moreover, for the safety and wellness of human society, it is necessary to engage with scientific information. We are faced with the necessity of examining scientific evidence on topics ranging from conservation to public health and make decisions that impact not only our families but those around us.

Planet Earth ... and You! (Coursera) Coursera

Planet Earth ... and You! (Coursera)

Earthquakes, volcanoes, mountain building, ice ages, landslides, floods, life evolution, plate motions—all of these phenomena have interacted over the vast expanses of deep time to sculpt the dynamic planet that we live on today. Planet Earth presents an overview of several aspects of our home, from a geological perspective. We begin with earthquakes—what they are, what causes them, what effects they have, and what we can do about them. We will emphasize that plate tectonics—the grand unifying theory of geology—explains how the map of our planet's surface has changed radically over geologic time, and why present-day geologic activity—including a variety of devastating natural disasters such as earthquakes—occur where they do. We consider volcanoes, types of eruptions, and typical rocks found there.

Flight mechanics - The basis (Coursera)

More than one century after the Wright brothers' first flight, the flight still defy our intuition. You will learn here how to name the different parts of the airplane and how to describe and quantify its geometry. For that, we need now to share a precise vocabulary to describe the airplane's movement and attitude in space, and a refresher on basic general mechanic principles. You will remind how Newton's 2nd law allows you to determine what force must be applied on an apple - or on an airplane, to modify the magnitude and direction of its speed.
