The course is part of the “Global Challenges” catalogue, designed to offer a learning experience focused on the analysis of complex, cross-cutting issues across different study programmes. Its aim is to provide students with the tools needed to understand and address the major challenges of the present and the future with awareness, responsibility, and a collaborative mindset. The catalogue promotes a broad and integrated perspective by bringing together STEM disciplines — Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics — with the humanities and social sciences. The courses address current, interdisciplinary topics and aim to develop innovative technological solutions through a critical approach, with particular attention to ethics and the social, cultural, and environmental impacts of the proposed solutions. Teaching activities foster active and multidisciplinary learning, encouraging the integration of technical, scientific, social, and humanistic competencies. Through team-based project work, students develop design skills, interdisciplinary dialogue, shared responsibility, and the ability to understand, contextualise, and tackle complex problems. The “Global Challenges” catalogue will be launched each year with a lectio magistralis in English dedicated to a highly relevant theme. Transport infrastructures play a strategic role in the major challenge of sustainable mobility and the protection of human life. The new generation of intelligent transport infrastructures is designed to mitigate and adapt to climate change and to ensure high levels of driving safety, structural safety and resilience to exceptional events. These objectives can be achieved by integrating technological and design solutions, such as real-time infrastructure monitoring, communication between infrastructure and vehicles, and the design of resilient, low-impact infrastructures. The course aims to critically analyse various engineering solutions, identifying their political and social implications. In addressing these political and social implications, particular attention will be paid to European infrastructure policies, European data protection policies, the relationships between infrastructure, the environment and society, and the transformation of work brought about by artificial intelligence.

The expected learning outcomes for this course are: • the acquisition of basic knowledge of the technological and design aspects of intelligent transport infrastructure; • an understanding of the main political and social implications of intelligent infrastructure. By the end of the course, students will have developed the ability to apply the knowledge acquired to examine and propose engineering solutions to real-world problems and to critically analyse the impact of such solutions on the existing balance between ‘infrastructure’ and ‘humanity’.

The course foresees an opening lectio magistralis in English - delivered simultaneously for all courses in the Global Challenges catalogue - on a highly topical issue. In the following a list of the course-specific topics. • Introduction to transport infrastructure: overview, current state of the art and key challenges facing existing infrastructure. • Climate change and transport infrastructure: adaptation and mitigation strategies. • Intelligent transport infrastructure to enhance active and passive safety. • Infrastructure management and monitoring based on AI (artificial intelligence) and IoT (Internet of Things). • AI, IoT and modern technologies for the surveillance and monitoring of infrastructure. • 5G network: cellular communication infrastructure applied to M2M (machine-to-machine) and V2X (vehicle-to-everything). • Examples of smart infrastructure: predictive maintenance of infrastructure, railway network management, road network management. • Analogue and digital signals. Analogue-to-digital conversion: sampling and quantisation. • Examples of communication protocols. • Infrastructure policy: logistics and transnational space. • European infrastructure projects. • Infrastructure and the social environment: analysis and discussion of case studies. • Smart infrastructure and data policies. • Human intelligence and machine intelligence: how work is changing.

The course will consist of 34.5 hours of lectures and 25.5 hours of practical sessions. The 33 hours of lectures will focus on developing a basic understanding of engineering, political and sociological issues related to intelligent transport infrastructures. The hours will be structured as follows. • 3 hours of course introduction. • 15 hours on the design of road, rail and airport infrastructures and to electronics applied to transport infrastructure management. • 15 hours on political and social science topics relevant to intelligent transport infrastructures. The 27 hours of practical sessions will be designed to develop students’ ability to apply the knowledge they have acquired to propose solutions to real-world challenges relating to transport infrastructures. The exercises will be organised into group activities, with groups comprising a maximum of 8 students from different degree programmes. The group work will aim to produce a video presentation of the design concept and will conclude with a workshop to present the projects and a peer assessment session. The 27 hours will be allocated as follows. • 12 hours of group work carried out in the classroom under the supervision of the lecturers. • 6 hours dedicated to a group presentation aimed at demonstrating the progress of the project and receiving preliminary feedback from the lecturers. This presentation will take place before the conclusion of the group work hours and will not be evaluated. • 6 hours of workshops during which project videos will be presented in the classroom, followed by a discussion open to all students focusing on the technical and humanistic aspects covered in the project. This activity will be evaluated. • 3 hours of peer review, during which each student will be asked to critically analyse a project carried out by another group. The project to be assessed will be assigned by the lecturers, and each student will be evaluated on the critical thinking skills. The group being assessed will not be influenced by the judgement of their peers.
The course will consist of 30 hours of lectures and 30 hours of practical sessions. The 30 hours of lectures will focus on developing a basic understanding of engineering, political and sociological issues related to intelligent transport infrastructures.
