Calcolare la velocità media percorsa sulle registrazioni video
Il corso utilizza esempi pratici per trattare l‘analisi dei tempi di percorrenza per determinare la velocità di marcia di veicoli visibili nelle registrazioni video. Vengono discusse varie possibili fonti di errore e viene trattata la considerazione dell‘incertezza di misura. I partecipanti ricevono gli strumenti software utilizzati dall‘istruttore del corso e hanno l‘opportunità di applicarli ad esempi pratici in auto-apprendimento tra le sessioni.
Date: 1a Session: 9 settembre 2022 (online)
2a Session: 16 settembre 2022 (online)
3a Session: 23 settembre 2022 (presso il METAS)
