Infrastructures, Volume 9, Issue 1

January 2024 - 16 articles

Cover Story: In testing infrastructure, to assess possible deformations, it is necessary to carry out a 3D survey approach with topographic measurements carried out by performing Total Stations. The results of least-squares processing must be supplemented by suitable statistical analyses to validate their robustness. This approach was evaluated on a recently constructed double-track railway bridge located near the metropolitan area of the city of Bari (Italy). View this paper

Innovative Energy Approach for Design and Sizing of Electric Vehicle Charging Infrastructure

  • Daniele Martini,
  • Martino Aimar,
  • Fabio Borghetti,
  • Michela Longo and
  • Federica Foiadelli

In Italy, the availability of service areas (SAs) equipped with charging stations (CSs) for electric vehicles (EVs) on highways is limited in comparison to the total number of service areas. The scope of this work is to create a prototype and show a...

Pedal towards Safety: The Development and Evaluation of a Risk Index for Cyclists

  • Lama Ayad,
  • Hocine Imine,
  • Claudio Lantieri and
  • Francesca De Crescenzio

Cyclists are at a higher risk of being involved in accidents. To this end, a safer environment for cyclists should be pursued so that they can feel safe while riding their bicycles. Focusing on safety risks that cyclists may face is the main key to p...

The Road Network Design Problem for the Deployment of Automated Vehicles (RNDP-AVs): A Nonlinear Programming Mathematical Model

  • Lígia Conceição,
  • Gonçalo Homem de Almeida Correia,
  • Bart van Arem and
  • José Pedro Tavares

Once trusted, automated vehicles (AVs) will gradually appear in urban areas. Such a transition is an opportunity in transport planning to control undesired impacts and possibly mitigate congestion at a time when both conventional vehicles (CVs) and A...
