Urban Design for New Cities Course
Introduction:
Optimal road design aims to achieve operational efficiency, safety, cost-effectiveness, and minimal environmental impact. The role of a road designer is to develop a design that best aligns with the specified functionality, incorporating inputs from all relevant disciplines. The design must ensure the creation of a road facility that is both safe and efficient, taking into consideration the perspectives of stakeholders and road users. This course will delve into these principles, providing delegates with a comprehensive understanding of the essential geometric design requirements for road design. Delegates will have the opportunity to apply their newfound knowledge through various design exercises and collaborative participation in the redesign of real three-kilometer rural roads.
Course Objectives:
Develop a basic understanding of the fundamentals in geometric road design Consider key engineering aspects that relate to a road design project Apply the knowledge gained through various design exercises to confirm understanding undertake a preliminary rural road design exercise on the drawing board in a design team environment.
Who Should Attend?
This course is intended for road engineers, civil engineers, municipal engineers, planning engineers, architect engineers and those responsible for the design of urban and rural cities.
Course Outlines:
- Road hierarchy and road classification in both urban and rural areas
- Design control and criteria
- Sight distances and their applications
- Horizontal alignment
- Vertical alignment
- Intersections (at-grade, grade separation, interchanges)
