Road Geometric Design - Virtual Learning
Course Methodology
This Traffic Engineering training course will have subjects presented and covered by the trainer utilising a variety of proven adult learning teaching and facilitation techniques, focused on examples and best practices from the industry. This will include active participation, in class practice cases, followed by quiz, active group sessions, video materials and other activities.
Course Objectives
The road designers are the people who influence the most of our lives, as they are the ones providing the plans for the roads that we use. The roads remain for a long time and therefore any issue that was not resolved in the initial design will continue to influence the traffic and all the positive and the negative elements of it for the years to come.
Therefore, continual development of the engineers and their advancement is crucial for the positive development of the roads.
Just applying standards is not enough, the engineers must implement modern technologies, must cooperate and must consider future developments.
This traffic engineering course also provides them with the knowledge of use of the modern software packages, using the newest technologies and applying them in collaboration with other civil engineers in order to achieve maximum benefit.
At the end of this Road Geometric Design training course, participants will learn to:
- Understand the Road Planning and Design application principles as well as Horizontal and Vertical Alignment
- Understand why Sustainable Urban Transport Planning is important
- Understand what Road Geometric Design for Safe Roads
- Perform base Road Safety Audit (RSA) and Road Safety Inspection (RSI)
- Recognize the possibilities in the new ITS development trends in Road Geometric Design
- Build traffic simulations of traffic signs and signal coordination
- Prepare the project for ITS introduction, sustainability, maintenance and Road Geometric Design in general
