Objective
The rapid development of Data Science and especially the consulting engagement at a high level has made the job market in need of such skilled professionals in the transportation field. This course will help students to gain knowledge about nowadays problems in urban mobility and how to use Data Science skills to convey in the right manner in defining the appropriate questions, understanding the limitation, and finding suitable solutions.
For this reason, the course is designed to help students to understand the relevance and limitations of data-centric approaches when applied to urban transport in contrast to other methods, such as modeling and forecasting. Furthermore, the course will provide the students with the knowledge required to use Data Science to solve Urban Mobility problems, covering all the traditional steps from data to insight discovery.
