Learning outcomes

To provide theoretical knowledges required for functional and performance based design of highways, with particular regard to aspects related to the capacity and safety design, to methodologies of choices among different alternative designs and to pavement design. To make the student able to use the aforementioned theoretical aspect to developing a complete design of the main road elements, in all the phases of design, both for new and rehabilitated highways; the student will be able to develop a highway design, composed of archs and nodes, by the use of a specific software for highway design.
