Important announcement

Dear visitor,

Please note that this OpenCourseWare platform will be replaced at the end of 2026 by a new platform (under the same url ocw.tudelft.nl).

Courses and their contents that are currently available the platform will partly be migrated. URL’s for this content will change and content might be unavailable for some time. In addition, some courses will not be available anymore.

If you are linking to specific courses on this platform (for instance for your students), please take timely measures to avoid problems with access. Possible actions are:

  • Download the materials to your local platform (laptop, server)
  • For educators only (including TU Delft lecturers): Contact us at ocw@tudelft.nl and inform us what course you are using in what context (institute, program, period of use, number of students). We will research (in collaboration with the authors of the course) and decide if we will migrate the course, and if yes, can supply you with a new url.

Thank you.

Extra: World Map Rail

One great feature of this MOOC is the interactive world map. This is where you can add data and imagery on your local and national railway network and share and compare this with other countries and cities in the world. With enrolments from over 130 countries, this world map becomes a unique place where you can get details on trains, tracks, stations, operations and more from all around the world.

Each week the map will appear in one of the discussed topics. Everyone will be asked to answer several questions regarding their national railway network and, if applicable, their local metro network (later in the course). Input will be shown on the map, after which it can be compared to other countries. Select a country of your choice to learn about this specific network or activate one of the filters to get an overview of the full world.
