Sustainable Road Infrastructures and Urban Development Chair (IRAUD)

PURPOSE AND APPROACH

• To re-establish the field of road infrastructures as modern and innovative, with a key role to play in transport and mobility, energy, public areas and current and future developments;
   
• To promote the sector and ensure the wide-reach of French know-how and expertise among youths as the future of the profession;
   
• To integrate developments relating to roadway usage diversification (active mobility, carbon-free mobility, shared mobility, connected and autonomous vehicles, energy-plus roads), particularly in urban environments.
   

OBJECTIVES

To train in and provide information on road infrastructures and their developments, within the Infrastructures, Land Development and Environment Department, by:

• Improving the project pedagogy applied to Road infrastructures and complement teachings with new knowledge;
   
• Actively participating in the Research pathway through PIERs on the unifying and cross-disciplinary subjects addressed by Routes de France;
   
• As from the first year, raising students’ awareness and introducing them to an innovative approach by creating a Digital ROAD INNOVATION pathway using an innovative pedagogical approach: this pathway relies on the expertise of various stakeholders in the sector through concrete realisation examples, a presentation of sector issues, and notably the mobility infrastructure stakeholders’ commitment: https://www.idrrim.com/evenements-idrrim/pacte-engagement/;
   
• Redefining a 200-hour option, offered during the 3rd year and focusing on mobility road infrastructures with a guiding project, a project and the integration of investigation studies, various transport methods and urban developments, consideration of climate, ecological and digital transition, and project management (cross-disciplinary approach and international dimension).
