| Participants restrictions: | Maximum: 30 | | | General course objectives:
| To enable the students to design different types of highways and junctions.
|
| Learning objectives: | | A student who has met the objectives of the course will be able to: | - Describe the project phases of a road design project
- Create a digital terrain model based on GIS data
- Explain which elements to use in horisontal and vertical road alignments
- Determine design parameters for horisontal and vertical road alignments
- Choose an appropriate 3D road alignment
- Describe the elements of a road cross section
- Determine types and sizes of elements in a road cross section
- Explain why, when and how to determine road cross slope and superelevation
- Choose a junction type - level or grade separated - and to design a road intersection (priority junction, signalled junction or roundabout) in 2D
- Use a CAD-system to set up road project drawings using CAD-standards
- Use a CAD-based road design system
- Estimate design costs and visualise the project
| Content:
| The students will design a highway using the CAD-system MicroStation and the application InRoads.
The process includes creation of a digital terrain model based on GIS data, design of a horisontal and a vertical road alignment, definition of a typical cross section and creation of a 3D roadway model. Based on the roadway model the students must create cross sections, volumes and graphics for project drawings. The course also includes preliminary design of a junction or roundabout, including road marking.
During the course the students will create a report and drawings that will be the basis of the assessment.
