MARITIME TRANSPORTATION AND INFRASTRUCTURES
(objectives)
Nowadays several strategic activities for economic and social development at regional, national and global scale have a crucial role at the land-sea interface where specific facilities support the transfer of goods and passengers. These facilities support the maritime transportation that is the main effective and sustainable mode for long-distance transportation. New concerns both in terms of design and construction of infrastructures and in terms of management of the functional components of maritime transportation systems have to be considered under advanced and novel paradigms that take into account the particular environmental vulnerability of costal environment. The main objective of the course is related to the assessment of any interferences between coastal environment and existing as well new infrastructures devoted to the passengers and goods transfer from landside to seaside and reversal.

(objectives)
The problem of intermediate reloading between shipping and terrestrial transport is typically affected by many constraints given by many factors among them the limited spaces of the seaports certainly prevailing. Horizontal and vertical alignment (slopes, curves, clothoids) as well manoeuvres or design speeds must take into account any constraints in a not ordinary framework. The overall objective is here to give to the students all the information and technical tools to design and manage the transportation infrastructure at the terrestrial-maritime interface. Design and construction as well as maintenance of parking lots, roads, motorways, rail stations and railways at the land/sea interface are discussed, in particular focusing on geometry standards, safety and efficiency of transport. Moreover the main concepts of selection criteria and acceptance standards for construction and building materials are explained under a perspective of sustainability. The main concepts of construction management and building sites or work zones safety and efficiency are also accurately presented, mainly considering the aspects related to the environmental impacts during construction.

Module: MARITIME TRANSPORTATION AND INFRASTRUCTURES-B
(objectives)
The main objective of the course is providing a specific knowledge for the analysis and the design of the functional characteristics of the components of the maritime transport system (ships, infrastructures and transport services). The course explores the study of these elements pertaining to the maritime transport system and the seaports. The study includes also the management of these components and the logistic issues. The first part of the course is an introduction to the transport engineering for providing the basic knowledge about the models used for the representation of the transport demand and supply, as well as the related interactions (assignment models). The last part of the course provides additional knowledge about problems related with the maritime transport system as the methods and the models for the management of the freight transport demand, the analysis and the design of the access transport system to the seaside infrastructures, in particular considering the aspects related to the environmental impacts during operation of services.
