Abstract: This volume contains an in-depth survey carried out among the members of the Italian Society of Road Infrastructures (S.I.I.V.), regarding the state of teaching and research on airport infrastructure. S.I.I.V. brings together university professors and researchers of the Scientific Disciplinary Sector 08/CEAR-03/A (formerly ICAR/04), whose competences, according to the declaration of Ministerial Decree 2/05/2024 no. 639, concern the theories, models, techniques, and processes for the conception, design, construction, adaptation, maintenance, and management of airport assets, with regard to functionality, performance, safety, sustainability, risk, resilience, environmental and territorial impact, social and economic effectiveness of investments over the life cycle, digitalization, and new technologies. Since its foundation—and even earlier through the work of individual academics—S.I.I.V. has been dedicated to the study of the airport system, analyzed in its various aspects, with the aim of contributing to the knowledge and development of a sector that is strategic for the national economy. With this volume, S.I.I.V. intends to disseminate, in a concise yet comprehensive manner, the contents of the teaching and research activities that it has institutionally carried out and continues to promote in this fundamental field. Within S.I.I.V., a Working Group has been established, specifically dedicated to mobility and airport infrastructure. This volume represents the outcome of a preliminary in-depth study on the subject.
