Educational objectives
The course aims to provide all the elements necessary for the management and maintenance of a road infrastructure. The main expected learning results are:

knowledge and understanding about the management process based on specific monitoring techniques for proper maintenance of road infrastructure;
skill to select the right management and maintenance of a road infrastructure.
Prerequisites
In order to deeply understand mathematical models involved in the program of the course and to reach the expected learning results the following elements are required:

Mathematical analysis: analytic functions, differential and integral calculus of functions, partial differential equations.
Science of Construction: continuum mechanics, analysis of stress and strain, equations bond, elasticity.
Design of Roads: plano-altimetric design of the road
Teaching methods
The course is organized in:

Face-to-face lessons;
Practice with a professional software.
Other information

Learning verification modality
The exam of the course consists of an oral discussions.

The oral exam, about 45 minutes, is directed to check out the knowledge level over the course contents, the acquired ability to apply the studied techniques and the ability to select the proper methodology by self-judgement. Furthermore, the oral exams have also the objective to evaluate communication skills and the usage of an appropriate language about the theoretical and practical subjects of the course.
Extended program
The course aims to provide all the elements necessary for the management and maintenance of a road infrastructure. Therefore, the course is organized in different units as in the following described:

Applying a professional software in the review of a road

Phases of road maintenance (Pavement Management System)

The monitoring of structural characteristics of a pavement

The monitoring of surface characteristics of a pavement (regularity and skid resistance)

Visual survey of the distresses

Intervention techniques
