An Introduction to Highway Design
Everything you need to know about highway design and elements of vertical and horizontal highway curves
What you'll learn
Fundamentals of Highway Design and Vehicle Performance
Highway geometric design standards and elements
Horizontal and vertical alignment of highways
Vehicle stopping sight distance
Requirements
No prior background in highway design in needed. However, basic understanding of geomery is helpful but not required.
Description
In this course, I will teach you the fundamentals of the highway and roadway design processes. You will learn about the basic elements of highway engineering including geometric design, cross-section, profile, and horizontal alignment. I will walk you through the step-by-step process for designing highway horizontal and vertical curves. We will also cover the safety aspects of the highway design process including the estimation of driver sight distance and determining the safe stopping distance. After taking this course, you will be able to design vertical and horizontal following the step-by-step processes explained in the instructional videos. You will also lean how to estimate the stopping sight distance for vehicles travelling on vertical and horizontal curves. Basic knowledge and understanding of geomtery is helpful but not required. This course is designed for all levels. Civil engineering students, design professionals, working civil engineers and transportation engineers can benefit from the contents of this course. For advanced highway design features, feel free to check back our courses again in the near future. The units of measurements for all the equations and formulas covered in this course are based on US Customary (Imperial) units that can be easily converted to metric system units.
What you will learn
Fundamentals of Highway Design and Vehicle Performance
Highway geometric design standards and elements
Horizontal and vertical alignment of highways
Vehicle stopping sight distance
Who this course is for
