Overview
Background & policy context:
The engineer working on the development of transportation networks and infrastructure to meet an increasing demand for mobility (economic boom, rising population and standards of living, etc.) must ensure that these are efficient, safe, economical and environmentally friendly. These stringent conditions cannot be satisfied without an interdisciplinary approach and especially they require the consultation of an ecologist for matters concerning the protection of fauna.
Objectives:
The objectives of the project are:
- To supply the technical and scientific bases allowing to take into account interactions between the networks of the fauna and the ways of traffic
- To describe interdisciplinary methodologies for the elaboration of projects
- To publish information intended for the civil engineers and ecologists
