In the semester examination, the examiner will set 08 questions in all selecting two from each unit. The students will be required to attempt only 5 questions selecting at least one question from each unit. All questions will carry equal marks. The use of scientific calculator will be allowed in the examination. However, programmable calculator and cellular phone will not be allowed. COURSE OUTCOMES completion of this students will be able to Acquire knowledge of traffic characteristics and traffic studies. Understand various Traffic flow parameters and theories. Design traffic control devices and junctions. Manage traffic on urban roads. CEH503C GEOMETRIC DESIGN L P Credits Work 25 Marks 3 0 3 Examinations 75 Marks Duration of Exam 3 Hrs COURSE OBJECTIVES Ability to understand elements of geometric design and factors affecting geometric design of highways. Capability to design horizontal and vertical curves. Geometric design skills of hill roads. Understanding of design provisions for vulnerable road users. Details of IRC standards and guidelines for design of expressways, rural and urban roads. UNIT I (CO-1) Introduction: Classification of highways and urban roads. Objectives and requirements of highway geometric design: Design Control and Criteria. Cross Section Elements: Right of way and width considerations, roadway, shoulders, kerbs traffic barriers, medians, frontage roads; Facilities for pedestrians, bicycles, buses and trucks, Pavement surface characteristics - types, cross slope, skid resistance, unevenness. UNIT II(CO-1, 2) Sight distances - types, analysis, factors affecting, measurements, Horizontal alignment--design considerations, stability at curves, super-elevation, widening, transition curves; curvature at intersections. UNIT III(CO-2,3) Vertical alignment - grades, ramps, design of summit and valley curves, combination of vertical and horizontal alignment including design of hair pin bends. UNIT IV(CO-4,5) Geometric design of cycle tracks, Design of pedestrian subways and over bridges and ramps. Geometric design of parking facilities. Design of Expressways, IRC standards and guidelines for design, Design considerations for rural roads and urban arterials: design speeds, volumes, levels of service and other design considerations.
