Geometric Design of Highways

The course is given every second year, next time in fall semester 2025. The course will focus on relations which influence the performance of highways; highway standards and spesifications, design criteria, alignment, cross section, safety and traffic flow.

The goal of the course is to give the students knowledge about basic road design theory and how it is applied in Norway. In addition, the students in the course then develop further knowledge and understanding of different factors which influence the design and operations of roads.

The course consists of a series of lectures with obligatory exercises related to the lectures. Additionally, the course includes an obligatory research project with a written report and presentation/oral exam. To pass the course a score of at least 70 percent is required.
