Il percorso di Alireza

Siamo molto felici di riportarvi l’esperienza di Alireza che lo scorso 17 gennaio ha conseguito la laurea in Transport Systems Engineering presso La Sapienza Università degli Studi di Roma con il voto di 110 e lode.

Alireza ha partecipato a uno dei Coding Camp PC Cube, sviluppando la propria tesi di laurea seguito da due nostri relatori, Pietro Nicolaus Roselli Lorenzini e Francesco di Cataldo. Interessante la scelta di Alireza di unire un percorso di studi ingegneristico a un’esperienza prettamente informatica, un connubio che è risultato vincente.

Entering the world of Information technology as a career after leaving engineering behind has been an exciting new chapter in my professional life. My desire for change was driven by a persistent passion for exploring new technologies, even though my background was in engineering. I took the initiative to learn about data analysis before enrolling in PCCUBE coding camp, which helped to lay the foundation for my technical journey.

In addition to honing my analytical abilities, this self-directed investigation of data analysis gave me a strong platform for the difficulties that lay ahead. The turning point came when I took advantage of the chance to attend a coding camp run by PCCUBE, a cutting-edge startup.

Not only did this immersive experience helped me to improve my developing skills, but it also helped me to land my dream job as a developer. The dynamic atmosphere at PCCUBE gave me the ideal setting for growth and success.

Sono molte le applicazioni in grado di unire informatica e ingegneria dei trasporti, una di queste è l’ottimizzazione dei semafori: migliorare l’efficienza degli incroci significa migliorare la vita delle persone da molti punti di vista, permette di non far perdere tempo, di consumare meno e, di conseguenza, di inquinare meno.

I also had the opportunity to work on my thesis with the company, focusing on a novel methodology to control the flow of traffic at intersections.

Controlling the flow of traffic at intersections is always a topic that is interesting to study in transportation. Historically, the traffic police managed the control of traffic lights. The semaphore traffic signal was introduced in the 20th century to control the traffic at intersections in a more modern approach. So far, many methods have been introduced to reduce the average delay of vehicles at junctions, using different combinations of cycle, green, and red time of the signal.

However, within the semaphore traffic signal system, the lack of intelligent transport systems causes vehicles to experience unnecessary waiting at intersections, more fuel consumption, and air pollution. In order to find a possible solution to overcome these issues, this thesis explores the concept of virtual traffic light systems (VTLS) that replace physical traditional traffic lights.

I have developed an application programming interface (API) to analyze this concept in depth, followed by a simulation to compare it with the conventional traffic control methods.

In addition to being a noteworthy academic accomplishment with the vote 110 cum laude, the thesis provided an invaluable practical experience.

È per noi motivo di soddisfazione constatare che i Coding Camp per sviluppatori siano apprezzati dai ragazzi, ma soprattutto che rappresentino un momento di stimolo intellettuale e di crescita professionale.

Working with subject-matter specialists, I ventured into unknown waters and helped to develop creative solutions with the support of the company.

This journey, which was sparked by the coding camp experience, has confirmed my passion for the rapidly changing field of technology while also expanding my skill set.

I am appreciative of the opportunities that led to this pivotal change in my career and have helped me on a rewarding and significant path.
