Course content

Design and Modeling

Design and modeling of roads, intersection solutions, and solutions for vulnerable road users in accordance with current laws, regulations, guidelines, standards, and norms within road planning and design.

Analysis and Planning Tools

Analyze base data and apply computer-based planning tools for road modeling and construction.

Quantity Calculations

Perform quantity calculations for projects and facilities as a basis for tendering and project execution.

Learning outcome

Knowledge: Students have broad knowledge of:

• existing map data, planning data, geotechnical data, and data registers used in road planning and design.
• current laws, regulations, guidelines, standards, and norms related to road planning and design.
• planning and design tasks for roads at various administrative levels.
• the use of digital tools for road planning and design.

Skills:The student should be able to:

• obtain and utilize base data in road design work.
• apply current laws, regulations, guidelines, standards, and norms in road planning and design.
• perform basic analyses of base data and use computer-based planning tools for road modeling and construction.
• carry out detailed design of roads, intersections, and other road facilities, and produce drawings using selected digital tools.
• perform quantity calculations for projects and facilities as a basis for tendering and execution.
• present plans and projects in both 2D and 3D formats.

General Competence: Students can:

• communicate road projects to various target groups.
• reflect on their professional practice, both individually and in teams and interdisciplinary contexts, and adapt it to the relevant work situation.
• contribute to the development of good practices by participating in professional discussions within the road and water/sewage disciplines, sharing their knowledge and experience with others, and assessing ethical and environmental consequences of road design.

Digital Competence: Qualified use of software programs. Analysis and interpretation of results. Data editing.

Sustainability Competence: The course contributes to providing students with the necessary foundation to design safe and resilient infrastructure solutions.
