Road Infrastructure Theory is a course of the Master Degree in Road Infrastructures and Transport. This degree aims at training a highly professional figure in civil engineering with specific knowledge and skills in road infrastructures design and management and transportation issues.
Within this degree, Road Infrastructure Theory aims to provide basic skills to understand the issues of the transport infrastructures with reference to road safety. Furthermore, knowledge on the drivers’ behaviour assessment according to the road characteristics and operating conditions is provided.
At the end of the course, the students will be able to: 1) assess the road safety conditions; 2) determine the project quality according to the expected accident rate assessed with forecasting techniques; 3) evaluate the effectiveness of adjustments; 4) use and apply road design regulations with knowledge of the variables to be considered.
