The World Health Organization (WHO) identifies 2,030 road traffic injuries as one of the main factors affecting the health and safety of the population. Currently, road accidents cause more than 1.3 million deaths annually and between 25 and 52 million serious injuries.

WHO has promoted this decade as the decade of road safety globally. Major public and private entities are introducing new models of traffic management, mobility and road safety systems to reduce the risk of accidents and optimize the mobility of their resources. These efforts are succeeding in reducing road accidents and, in addition, generating economic value and reducing costs.

This IMF Master in collaboration with Camilo José Cela University provides the necessary knowledge to design road management systems that allow obtaining ISO 39001 certification and promoting sustainable mobility in all its dimensions and areas of operation.... [-]

Master of Urban Transport Systems

Faculty of Planning – CEPT University

An effective and efficient transport system is key to economic growth of urban areas and regions. Planning and management of urban transport are complex and requires a comprehensive understanding of various sub-systems like roads and railways, modes like public, private and non-motorised transport, passenger and freight mobility, and the other related dimensions of land use, travel behavior, energy, affordability, financing, and governance. It is only when an integrated approach to achieving transport solutions is adopted, that cities will be able to move towards efficient and sustainable mobility.

With this perspective, Master of Urban Transport Systems aims to provide holistic knowledge on planning, technology, design, operations and management of urban transport, besides developing skill sets related to transport system analysis and application of various policy instruments. The program will combine theoretical analysis with practical applications to help students understand how to deal with transport problems in the real world. The focus is to enable students to comprehend the complexities of urban transport and develop their capacities to shape the future of transport in cities.... [-]
