| OBJECTIVES. EXPECTED LEARNING OUTCOMES AND SKILLS TO BE ACQUIRED: LEARNING THE STATE OF KNOWLEDGE FOR THE IDENTIFICATION OF RISK FACTORS AND SAFETY ANALYSES OF ROAD AND RAIL TRANSPORT INFRASTRUCTURES, INCLUDING TUNNELS. LEARNING ALSO THE CRITERIA FOR OPTIMIZING MANAGEMENT MEASURES TO PREVENT AND COPE WITH ACCIDENTAL EVENTS THAT MAY CAUSE DAMAGE TO USERS AND/OR INFRASTRUCTURES. KNOWLEDGE AND ABILITY OF UNDERSTANDING: ACQUISITION OF SKILLS RELATED TO ACCIDENT ANALYSES WITH CONSEQUENT ABILITY TO DESIGN INTERVENTIONS AND CRITERIA FOR THE MOST APPROPRIATE CHOICE OF MITIGATION MEASURES TO INCREASE THE SAFETY LEVEL OF INFRASTRUCTURES. ABILITY TO UNDERSTAND AND LEARN SKILLS ON ACCIDENT MODELS AND METHODS AS WELL AS RISK ANALYSIS. ABILITY OF APPLYING KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING: APPLICATION OF THE KNOWLEDGE GAINED TO PREDICT ACCIDENTS DUE TO TRAFFIC AND INFRASTRUCTURE CHARACTERISTICS AS WELL AS THE RISK IN CASE OF TUNNEL FIRE. PROPOSING INFRASTRUCTURE SOLUTIONS AND TRAFFIC CONTROL IN ORDER TO IMPROVE SAFETY. MAKING JUDGEMENTS: ABILITY TO CHOOSE THE MOST APPROPRIATE MODELS AND METHODS FOR DIFFERENT SCENARIOS AND VERIFY THE VALIDITY OF THE RESULTS OBTAINED FROM THE POINT OF VIEW OF QUANTITATIVE AND/OR QUALITATIVE RISK ANALYSIS. COMMUNICATION SKILLS: ABILITY TO EXPLAIN WITH APPROPRIATE TECHNICAL LANGUAGE AND ANALYTICAL AND/OR GRAPHIC REPRESENTATION THE KNOWLEDGE ACQUIRED, AS WELL AS THE MODELS AND METHODS APPLIED BY USING CERTAIN MULTIDISCIPLINAR APPROACHES. LEARNING SKILLS: CONSOLIDATION OF THE KNOWLEDGE AND SKILLS ACQUIRED TO ADDRESS THE MOST RELEVANT ISSUES IN THE FIELD OF TRANSPORTATION INFRASTRUCTURE SAFETY, AS WELL AS THE ABILITY TO LEARN THE SAFETY TOPICS COVERED IN OTHER DISCIPLINES THAT USE THE SAME TOOLS AND METHODS OF ANALYSIS. |
| Prerequisites | |
|---|---|
| FOR THE ACHIEVEMENT OF THE OBJECTIVES SET THE EXAM BOTH OF “FUNDAMENTALS OF DESIGN AND ROAD CONSTRUCTION” AND “ROADS, RAILWAYS AND AIRPORTS” MUST HAVE BEEN PASSED. MOREOVER, THE KNOWLEDGES OF PROBABILITY AND STATISTICAL DATA ANALYSIS ARE RECOMMENDED (BUT NOT MANDATORY). |

|---|---|
| THE COURSE INLCLUDES THEORETICAL AND PRACTICAL LESSONS. THE NUMBER OF THEORETICAL LESSONS IS 40 WITH 20 HOURS OF PRATICAL APPLICATIONS. THE COURSE PROVIDES: INTRODUCTION AND SAFETY ISSUES OF TRANSPORT INFRASTRUCTURES (HOURS OF LESSON 2) REFERENCE STANDARD AND GUIDELINES ABOUT THE SAFETY OF ROAD AND RAIL TRANSPORT INFRASTRUCTURES (HOURS OF LESSON 4). METHODS AND MODELS FOR THE STATISTICAL ANALYSIS OF TRAFFIC ACCIDENTS (HOURS OF LESSONS 5, HOURS OF PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS 3). METHODS AND MODELS BASED ON THE NUMERICAL SIMULATION OF TRAFFIC CONFLICTS FOR THE SAFETY ANALYSIS OF ROAD INTERSECTIONS (HOURS OF LESSONS 4, HOURS OF PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS 3). METHODS AND MODELS FOR THE NUMERICAL SIMULATION BASED ON THE COMPUTATIONAL FLUID DYNAMICS IN ORDER TO ASSESS THE ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS IN TUNNELS IN THE EVENT OF A FIRE. (HOURS OF LESSONS 4, HOURS OF PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS 3). RISK ANALYSIS: ACCIDENT RATE, EVENT TREE, FAULT TREE, TYPES OF RISK, RISK ASSESSMENT, RISK ACCEPTABILITY CRITERIA, F-N CURVES, ALARP ZONE. (HOURS OF LESSONS 5, HOURS OF PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS 3). TRANSPORT OF DANGEROUS GOODS (HOURS OF LESSONS 4, HOURS OF PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS 3). RISKS DUE TO ALTERNATIVE FUELS SUCH AS HYDROGEN AND ELECTRIC BATTERIES (HOURS OF LESSONS 4, HOURS OF PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS 2). ATTENTION CLASSES OF ROAD TUNNELS (HOURS OF LESSONS 5, HOURS OF PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS 3). CONCRETE SPALLING (HOURS OF LESSON 2) MANAGEMENT MEASURES FOR SAFETY. (HOURS OF LESSON 1) |
| Teaching Methods | |
|---|---|
| THE COURSE IS BASED ON THEORETICAL (40 HOURS) AND PRACTICAL LESSONS (20 HOURS) WITH APPLICATIONS TO CASE STUDIES OF INCIDENTAL SCENARIOS IN ORDER TO SHOW THE PREDICTIVE CAPABILITY OF METHODS AND MODELS TO QUANTIFY THE RISK LEVEL DUE TO TRAFFIC ACCIDENTS OR FIRES. THE PRESENCE OF STUDENTS IS STRONGLY RECOMMENDED EVEN IF IT IS NOT COMPULSORY. |
| Verification of learning | |
|---|---|
| THE FINAL EXAM IS BASED ON A DISCUSSION, WHICH IS PLANNED AT THE END OF THE TEACHING COURSE, CONCERNING BOTH THEORETICAL SUBJECTS AND PRATICAL APPLICATIONS. THE AIM IS TO VERIFY: THE LEVEL OF KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING ACHIEVED, THE CABABILITY OF ORAL PRESENTATION AND KNOWING HOW TO DESIGN INDEPENDENLTY ABOUT SAFETY OF A TRANSPORT INFRASTRUCTURE. THE EXAM IS AT THE END OF TEACHING COURSE AND IT IS BASED ON A SPEECH OF ABOUT 40-50 MINUTES. THE RESULT OF EXAM FORESEES A VOTE RELATED TO THIRTY. FOR GETTING THE FULL MARKS, THE CAPACITY OF TRANSVERSE CORRELATIONS AMONG THE DIFFERENT SUBJECTS OF THE TEACHING COURSE AND/OR OTHER COURSES WILL BE TAKEN INTO ACCOUNT. |
