THE AIM OF THE COURSE IS TO COMPLETE THE THEORETICAL TRAINING OF PROFESSIONAL PROFILES SPECIALIZED ON ROAD SAFETY ISSUES WITH PARTICULAR REFERENCE TO ACCIDENTS AND SEVERE HAZARD OCCURENCES. THE ANALYSIS IS FOCUSED ON THE INTERFERENCES AMONG ROAD INFRASTRUCTURES AND HAZARDS. THESE ARE DETERMINED BY ANTHROPIC CAUSES (POLLUTION DUE TO ACCIDENTS, FIRE HAZARDS, …) OR NATURAL EVENTS (EARTHQUAKES, FLOODS …)
Curriculum
teacher profile teaching materials
Specifically, during the lectures, it will be presented and discussed:
1) the most recent and effective methods and procedures for studying crash data, identifying crash factors and possible countermeasures, evaluating the effectiveness of road safety measures;
2) plans and programs for the management of the safety of road infrastructures;
3) the most advanced and effective technologies and tools used for improving road safety, according to a multidisciplinary approach based on driver-road-vehilce interactions: the driving simulation.
Moreover, some basic concept on the risk management of transport network related to critical event such as earthquakes, floods, fires... will be presented.
Finally, some seminars are expected by road safety experts.
Programme
The course is aimed at providing students with the knowledge and instruments for developing road safety analyses, audit and inspections according to the national and international actual regulations.Specifically, during the lectures, it will be presented and discussed:

Core Documentation
Teacher's lectures and digital materials (i.e. video of the lectures).Type of delivery of the course
The course consists in 27 lessons in class. Each lecture is recorded by the professor who then upload the video and other materials useful for the students in Moodle platform.Type of evaluation
The evaluation is based on the report of a road safety inspection that the students will develop during the course and on a presentation of the activities performed. teacher profile teaching materials
