Metro Rail Transportation Systems

Program Description

This course will provide the learner with an overview of major functions involved in the Metro system. It will provide a roadmap for learners to understand the concepts involved in Civil, Structural, Architectural & MEP functions for planning and design of Metros. These concepts are reinforced with demonstrations and real case studies/projects that have been successfully carried out in major cities in India and Abroad. It provides brief knowledge to the learner to steer through their career in the field of Metro Rail, which is currently the most sought-after mode of mass transportation in rapidly growing urban hubs. The course also provides insights on the future modes of transportation, to supplement the learner to stay adept amidst the rapid advancement of technology in this field.

Course Objectives:

  • Elaborate on the salient features and types of Transit oriented development and its significance
  • Explain the planning, analysis, design and execution of elevated and underground Metro viaducts, tunnels and stations
  • Explain the design and analysis of Earth retaining systems
  • Introduce the future trends and technologies in Transportation systems.
