Infraestruturas de Transporte Terrestre

Non applicable

The expository and inquisitive method is used during the presentation of the different concepts in Theoretical-Practical classes, with analyzes of case studies. The practical group works, to be carried out by the students, consist ssentially of concrete applications of the studied subjects. In classes there will be opportunities to follow up the learning, by clarifying theoretical doubts, monitoring the analyzes carried out and guiding practical work, following a methodology of self-learning and communication.

Goals: Understanding and analyzing the main characteristics and conditions of roads and streets, as transportation infrastructures, focusing in particular on their geometric definition, construction and conservation technologies.

Generic Skills: Application of knowledge and understanding; Conducting judgment and decision making; Communication; Self-learning;

Specific Skills: Acquiring knowledge and understanding skills in interpreting the geometric definition of roads and streets, including at-level intersections in urban areas; knowing how to analyze the operating conditions of roads and streets; framing the various aspects of road safety linked to the infrastructure; provide students with knowledge in the area of construction technologies for transportation infrastructures, regarding earthworks, paving and drainage; aquiring skills related to transport infrastructure conservation methodologies.

1. Functions, financing and operation of road and rail infrastructures;

2. Layout: interpretation of the geometric definition in transportation infrstructure designs;

3. Earthworks: earth movement and distribution, soil characterization in earthworks;

4. Asset management: level of service and capacity analysis ;

5. RRoad safety management: safety fostering programmes; accident rate indicators, detection of accident hotspots, interventions to improve road safety;

6. Paving: functional and structural performance of pavements; quality control tests; constitution and track characteristics of urban railway infrastructures.

7. Road conservation: behavior, pathologies and actions for road pavement conservation.

8. Drainage: functions and constitution of different surface and underground drainage solutions, aspects taken into account in their design.
