Introduction to the Program

You will learn in depth about the changes that new technologies will force on the infrastructure or the vehicle, from professionals with years of experience in the sector"

This Postgraduate certificate is divided into two main blocks. The first block deals with elements of a more social nature, which the student should be aware of because they are already present in other sectors, but which perhaps appear in an incipient form on the road. This includes issues related to equality or transparency policies, or the treatment of teleworking.

Likewise, the inexcusable concern for the environment that has characterized the road sector for some time now is complemented by other more current approaches such as the circular economy, the energy autonomy of the road or the energy use of the subsoil, mainly linked to subway infrastructures. The third theme deals with some more topical concepts such as corporate social responsibility, or that of administrators, or a reflection on the importance of the road in situations such as the one experienced with COVID19 and its generalized effects on mobility worldwide. These are all current issues, but with a significant impact for the coming years.

The teaching team wanted to include the fourth unit, which is very new for this type of program, because experience shows that there is a generalized deficit in the sector regarding the need to integrate the end client, who we must not forget is the user, in the information on the profession in general.

The second block of the module deals with more technological concepts. Starting with the analysis of the 5G networks that are arriving and that are going to facilitate a revolution on the current conception of roads. As such, the student will be able to delve into the state-of-the-art of topics such as the connected vehicle, or the autonomous vehicle and how both are going to require changes in the competencies of the road professional. In the same way, some of the main projects under the general umbrella known as "Smart Roads" will be discussed in detail. Finally, there is a unit that breaks down technologies that are already beginning to be used in other sectors but will necessarily have a specific application on the roads of the future. We wanted to focus on artificial intelligence, the use of drones or robotics.

As it is a 100% online Postgraduate certificate, it provides the student with the ease of being able to take it comfortably, wherever and whenever they want. All you need is a device with internet access to take your career one step further. A modality in accordance with the current times with all the guarantees to position the professional in a highly demanded area such as road construction.
