Le infrastrutture italiane sono in continua espansione e rinnovamento, motivo per cui la sicurezza nei cantieri stradali assume oggi un ruolo di primaria importanza per tutelare la vita dei lavoratori e degli utenti della strada. Il numero di interruzioni causate dai lavori sulla carreggiata, infatti, non incide solo sui tempi di percorrenza, che rappresentano un fattore umano e ambientale piuttosto impattante, ma tra improvvisi cambi di carreggiata e frequenti riduzioni di corsie, rende precaria la sicurezza sia per chi circola sulla strada, sia per chi ci lavora e in particolar modo per chi si occupa della posa e della rimozione della segnaletica. Risulta, quindi, di fondamentale importanza, elaborare aggiornamenti del sistema normativo e integrarlo con lo studio di soluzioni tecnologiche innovative, volte a migliorare la sicurezza nei cantieri stradali, con l'obiettivo primario di ridurre gli infortuni sul lavoro e minimizzare i rischi per tutti i soggetti coinvolti. Il presente elaborato discute le dinamiche di sicurezza che riguardano i lavoratori dei cantieri stradali e offre spunti pratici per la loro ottimizzazione. Viene posta l'attenzione sui rischi inerenti alle situazioni più complesse come, ad esempio, l'attraversamento della carreggiata autostradale da parte degli operatori e le potenziali soluzioni derivanti sia dalla modifica della normativa vigente, che dall'introduzione di nuovi mezzi automatizzati. L'utente stradale deve, d'altro canto, essere indotto ad adottare comportamenti adeguati ai pericoli che incontra, sfruttando a dovere le tecnologie di cui dispone; l'avvento dei veicoli autonomi e interconnessi con l'infrastruttura stradale gioveranno a tal riguardo nel prossimo futuro. L'obiettivo ultimo è quello di salvaguardare la vita umana e migliorare l'efficienza delle operazioni di costruzione e manutenzione stradale.

Abstract
The Italian road infrastructure si continually expanding and renovating, which is why safety on road construction sites plays a crucial role in protecting the lives of workers and road users. The number of interruptions caused by works on the roadway, not only affects travel times, which represent a impactful human and environmental factor, but between sudden changes of roadway and frequent lane reductions, it makes safety precarious both for those who circulate on the road and for those who work on it, especially for those who are in charge of setting and removing road signs. It turns out, therefore, to be of fundamental importance to develop updates to the regulatory system and integrate it with the study of innovative technological solutions. These measures aim to improve safety at road construction sites, with the primary objective of reducing work injuries and minimizing risks for all those involved. The thesis aims to offer a contribution to the understanding of safety dynamics at road construction sites and to offer practical suggestions for their optimization. It focuses on several issues, such as the crossing of the highway roadway and how this could be avoided both by changing the rules where possible and by new solutions such as automated vehicles. Road users, on the other hand, must be induced to adopt behaviors appropriate to the dangers they encounter, making proper use of the available technologies; the advent of autonomous vehicles interconnected with the road infrastructure will benefit in this regard in the near future. The ultimate goal is to safeguard human life and improve the efficiency of road construction and maintenance operations.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
