Model-based highway engineering

- Data base; map data, terrain model, ground conditions data and area plan data.

- Digital drawing and design tools.

- Design of roads, streets and intersections and other road facilities using digital drawing and design tools.

- Production of terrain models, road models, floor plans and mass calculation.

- Implementation of other subject areas in model-based road design.

- 3D modeling and visualization.

Knowledge

The students have broad knowledge of:

- existing map basis, plan data, ground conditions data and data registers for planning and design work within roads.

- current laws, regulations, guides, standards and norms within road planning / engineering.

- planning and engineering tasks within roads at different management levels.

- use of computer tools for planning and planning roads.

Skills

The student should be able to:

- obtain and make use of basic data in the work with road design.

- apply current laws, regulations, guidelines, standards and norms in road planning / engineering.

- perform simple analyzes against basic data and use database-based planning tools for modeling and construction of roads.

- carry out detailed design of roads, intersections and other road facilities and be able to produce drawings using selected computer tools.

- perform quantity calculations of projects and facilities as a tender basis for the execution of projects.

- produce plans and projects in both 2D and 3D.

General competence

The students can:

- convey road projects to different target groups.

- reflect on their own professional practice, also in teams and in an interdisciplinary context, and can adapt this to the current work situation.

- contribute to the development of good practice by participating in professional discussions within the road and water and sewerage subject area and sharing their knowledge and experiences with others.

- assessing ethical and environmental consequences of road design of roads.
