- Study Objective:
-
The student will gain an overview in the field of transport differentiation and categorization and impact of traffic on environment. He/she will familiarize with the principles of road and railway design, including the dimensioning of structures, road (urban roads) type specifications. The aim is also to make students acquainted with the main characteristics of rail transport with a view to design and solutions in urban areas.
