MAS in Future Transport Systems
Major in Technology Potential
166-0200-00L	Technology Potential: Powertrain, Systems and Energy Carriers Only for MAS in Future Transport Systems and CAS in Future Transport Systems: Technology Potential.	O	4 credits	3G	K. Boulouchos, G. Georges
Abstract	The module provides a foundation in the current situation and short- and middle-term development directions of powertrain and automotive engineering in the context of passenger & goods transport. Corresponding energy sources and resulting consequences for the energy system are addressed. Participants will be enabled to identify potentials of these technologies and apply them to concrete problems.
Learning objective	Familiarity with conventional and alternative powertrain and automotive systems for future sustainable mobility, and the ability to identify and deploy their potential to address concrete problems.
Content	- Drive component efficiency rates and core fields - Drive and non-drive energy flow / Vehicle "driving resistance" - Energy chains (operating power only) and CO2 emissions to primary energy

166-0201-00L	Potential of Spatial Information- and Communication Technologies Only for MAS in Future Transport Systems and CAS in Future Transport Systems: Technology Potential.	O	3 credits	2G	M. Raubal
Abstract	The digital revolution, spatial information and communication systems in particular, have a significant influence on the development of new transport systems. Participants acquire an in-depth understanding of the functionality and application potential of spatial information systems and services and of communication technologies for deployment in future transport systems and applications.
Learning objective	Familiarity with information and communication technologies (ICT) and spatial information technologies, and the ability to identify and utilise their potential to address concrete problems.
Content	- Functionality and application of geographic information systems (GIS) to represent and analyse transport systems (acquire, model, analyse and visualise geodata) - Deployment potentials of GIS and ICT for efficient transport solutions (tangible, non-tangible) - Functionality and application of mobile spatial information technologies in future transport systems - Methods of spatiotemporal analysis and geodata analysis - Technical aspects of information and communication technologies (ICT) - Modelling, simulation and assessment of traffic behaviour - Basics of autonomous driving - Legal aspects of geodata - Applications: Traffic behaviour in Switzerland; location based services for energy-efficient behaviour; GIS for the Zurich traffic system (multimodal)

166-0202-00L	Integrated Assessment of Technologies and Transport Systems Only for MAS in Future Transport Systems and CAS in Future Transport Systems: Technology Potential.	O	1.5 credits	1G	C. L. Mutel
Abstract	The module provides a solid introduction to integrated technology assessment with regard to economic, ecological and social criteria. It introduces life cycle assessment (LCA), cost assessment, risk assessment and multi-criteria decision analysis. It also presents scenario analyses based upon energy-economic models which explicitly represent transport and energy-supply technologies.
Learning objective	An overview of suitable methods for analysing and evaluating technical systems (transport systems) and the ability to choose among them to address concrete problems
Content	(1) Introduction to and overview of integrated assessment - Current status of transport in Switzerland and internationally - Scope and goals of integrated assessment - Sustainability: concept and practical implementation via criteria and indicators - Overview of concepts and implementation methods (2) Selected methods for assessing transport technologies and their application to current and future options - Ecobalance / life cycle assessment (LCA) - Location-specific assessment of health hazards and environmental pollution - Risk analysis - Internal cost assessment - External cost assessment (3) Integrated assessment of transport technologies - Overall costs (internal and external) - Multi-criteria analysis (4) Analysis of transport scenarios - Scenarios, influencing factors, policy and sustainability - Approaches to scenario modelling - Global mobility scenarios: examples - Transport scenarios for Switzerland using energy system models

166-0203-00L	Agile and User-centered Innovation Only for MAS in Future Transport Systems and CAS in Future Transport Systems: Technology Potential.	O	1.5 credits	1G	M. Meboldt, J. Heck
Abstract	For companies it is essential to realise products quickly, economically and in a customer-oriented way. In this context approaches to agile and user-centred product development such as Scrum, Kanban and Design Thinking are increasing in importance. Compared to traditional product development methods, agile methods promise higher quality and customer satisfaction coupled with reduced expenditure.
Learning objective	Design and realisation of product development projects for future transport systems: Participants are familiar with the methods and procedures of agile and user-centred product development and are able to apply them profitably in their enterprises.
Content	Participants define an innovation theme themselves in groups, and a selection of topics is then drawn from this theme for module group work. The module takes participants through the whole process, from the analysis of target groups and their requirements through project conception and planning to implementation in example form. The course is practical and uses concrete examples. At the end of the module participants will have deployed the methods of agile and user-centred product development to work very practically through a theme they have developed themselves, and will have become familiar with the typical application scenarios, advantages and hurdles associated with these methods.
