| Abstract | The goal is to integrate the contents of the lectures of the block “Transportation” through a joint set of exercises which will allow the students to understand how the parts come together in the design of transport systems. The exercise will be based on a Swiss city. The exercises will involve onsite work. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Learning objective | - Diese gemeinsame Übung an Hand einer Schweizer Ortschaft dient der Vertiefung des Verständnisses der Wechselwirkungen zwischen allen Teilen des Verkehrssystems - Die Studenten haben Gelegenheit durch die Gruppenarbeit ihre Fähigkeiten in der Zusammenarbeit zu üben - Den entwerferischen Aufgaben wird in allen Teilen besondere Aufmerksamkeit geschenkt (Netzentwurf, Liniennetzentwurf, Knoten und Strassenentwurf, Massnahmen des Nachfragemanagements) | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Content | Drei verknüpfte Übungen aus der Verkehrsplanung, Verkehrstechnik, und dem Öffentlichen Verkehr - Verkehrserhebungen - Strassenraumentwurf - Netzentwurf - Nachfrageberechnung - Fahrplanentwurf - Leistungsfähigkeitsberechnungen für die Strecken und Knoten - Bewertung | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Paterson, G. Sansavini, B. Stojadinovic, B. Sudret, J. Teichmann, R. Wattenhofer, U. A. Weidmann, S. Wiemer, R. Zenklusen | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Abstract | In this series of seminars, invited speakers discuss various topics in the area of risk modelling, governance of complex socio-economic systems, managing risks and crises, and building resilience. Students, PhD students, post-docs, faculty and individuals outside ETH are welcome. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Learning objective | Participants gain insights in a broad range of risk- and resilience-related topics. They expand their knowledge of the field and deepen their understanding of the complexity of our social, economic and engineered systems. For young researchers in particular, the seminars offer an opportunity to learn academic presentation skills and to network with an interdisciplinary scientific audience. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Content | Academic presentations from ETH faculty as well as external researchers. Each seminar is followed by a Q&A session and (when permitted) a networking Apéro. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Lecture notes | The sessions are recorded whenever possible and posted on the ETH Risk Center webpage. If available, presentation slides are shared as well. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Literature | Each speaker will provide a literature review. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Prerequisites / Notice | In most cases, a quantitative background is required. Depending on the topic, field-specific knowledge may be required. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
