Infrastrutture ferroviarie. Didattica, ricerca e nuove sfide: Rapporto tecnico della S.I.I.V.

Abstract

The “Railways” Working Group of the Italian Road Infrastructures Society (S.I.I.V.) has produced this volume, which presents an in-depth survey conducted among SIIV members on railway infrastructure with regard to teaching, research, and the extensive regulatory framework of interest. The aim is to provide an updated overview of the educational and scientific activities that characterize this disciplinary field. This initiative is part of a broader process of shared reflection, designed to highlight the contribution that the Italian academic community in sector CEAR-03/A offers, in terms of knowledge and methodologies, to the development of railways. The volume is conceived as both a source of knowledge and a tool for dialogue, useful not only for documenting the current state of the discipline but also for guiding future research and teaching activities, particularly at institutions where courses in “Railway Infrastructure” are not yet active. With this work, the Group intends to contribute to the consolidation of a shared culture in the field of railway infrastructure, in the conviction that only through an integrated and interdisciplinary approach will it be possible to effectively address the challenges posed by technological innovation and the transition towards more sustainable mobility.
