ROAD INTERSECTIONS AND SAFETY ROAD INFRASTRUCTURE

To provide knowledge on the design of different types of road intersections (both at-grade intersections and interchanges) and to provide concepts for the preparation of active and passive safety measures that contribute to increasing the overall functionality of road infrastructures.

The course includes lectures and exercises in the classroom to be carried out individually.

-------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------

The work consists of the analysis of two road intersections (standard and roundabout) and their adaptation.

Students who, after presenting the appropriate documentation (DR n.1598 of 2/5/2018), have obtained recognition as a working student, sports student, student in difficulty and student with disabilities, if it is not possible for them to carry out the work in a group with other students of the course, will carry out a personalized work, the modalities of which will be agreed with the teacher.

Class participation is strongly encouraged as this is consistent with the proposed educational model, which is designed to encourage gradual learning, active student participation in the classroom, and dialogue between teachers and students. Since the group works will take place in the classroom, attendance is strongly recommended.
