Airport Infrastructures and Air Transport is part of the Bachelor's Degree course in Aeronautical Technologies and Air Transport Engineering. Considering the current and relevant processes toward digital twin and green transition, the main objective of the course is to train an industrial engineer with skills in the related sectors of transport infrastructures and systems.
The course aims to provide students with the fundamental knowledge of airport master plan, design models, airport capacity and accessibility, internal logistic and handling.
Students will acquire skills on the following topics i) infrastructural and management components of an airport system; ii) models for the computation of the potential of the node and how to deal with the integration between infrastructures and land-use; iii) theoretical models for estimating air transport demand and behavioural models for choosing between a set of alternatives.
The topic of the first module is about infrastructures and the second about logistic and transport systems.
At the end of the course, students will be able to analyse and design the functional characteristics of the airport infrastructures and the related transport system; dimensioning an air transport system in terms of infrastructures and services; evaluate projects related to new airports and heliports.
