and opportunities in an increasingly relevant thematic area such as urban road mobility .The principal objectives of 5
th ISS2018
can be summarized as follows:
 demonstrate the importance of sustainability concept related to transport system and the       development of urban infrastructures
 increase the research in terms of road safety and vulnerable users
 promote eco-mobility and Public Transport system
 identify the technology and its level of readiness, teach the students how to transform the     gained knowledge into
concrete business proposals and coach them how to present the pitches to companies or investors.

ISS2018 contains focus-lectures of academics and practitioners, project work, field visits and socializing events.
The aim is to provide a wide vision of the research activities in the field of transport and infrastructures engineering in order to
broaden the competence of PhD students towards more inter-dsciplinary subjects and topics.
During the week, students are confronted with involved stakeholders to consider the urban road sustainability and relevance
of their ideas. The accent will be on key issues related to innovative ideas and technologies. The applied approach is based on the following pillars:
 a balanced combination of Theory and Practice;
 combination of lectures with practical tutorials, mentoring, study visits, and teamwork
 social events to identify project ideas.

In particular Teaching activities linked to ISS2018 will be divided into 4 sessions with lectures given by teachers and a poster
session for each session useful for demonstrating the works pursued by the participants.
At the end of the Summer School in order to be able to attribute the certificates of participation there is a final exam.
