Program Overview

The Doctoral Research Course in Infrastructure and Transportation aims to train a highly qualified and multidisciplinary professional and scientific figure. The main areas of activity of the course include the demand for mobility of goods and people, the construction and operation of infrastructure and transportation systems, as well as the acquisition and management of territorial information.

Educational Goals

The course takes an integrated approach and places particular emphasis on environmental sustainability, especially in urban areas, and the impacts resulting from human interaction with the territory.

Curriculum

The course is divided into two distinct curricula:

• INFRASTRUCTURES, TRANSPORT SYSTEMS AND GEOMATICS Curriculum:
  • The "Infrastructure, Transport Systems, and Geomatics" curriculum focuses on the acquisition, development, and implementation of innovative methodologies and technical skills related to the design, construction, and management of infrastructure and complex transportation systems.
  • It also deals with the acquisition, management, and dissemination of territorial information necessary for studying the interactions between such infrastructure and the environment.
• TRANSPORT AND LAND-USE PLANNING Curriculum:
  • The "Transport and Land-Use Planning" curriculum focuses on the increasingly significant role that transportation has assumed in modern societies, with important repercussions on land use and planning, urban development, industrial and commercial activities, the environment, and energy use.
