Unit 108 Highway engineering Level: 6 Introduction This unit is intended to teach the learner about the principles of planning and design of traffic control and the principles of design and construction of roads and highways. Unit aim The unit aims to develop/provide the knowledge of collection and analysis of data required for traffic designs and methods of highway construction. Learning outcomes There are two learning outcomes to this unit. The learner will: 1. Apply the principles of traffic planning to design for road safety and traffic control 2. Demonstrate knowledge of highway construction and maintenance Guided learning hours It is recommended that 150 hours should be allocated for this unit of which 60 hours would be direct taught hours, 30 hours for laboratory practical work and the remainder for independent study. The unit may be carried out on a full time or part time basis. Assessment This unit will be assessed by means of one three hour written examination plus satisfactory completion of the prescribed practical and laboratory work. The assessments will be carried out separately. Learners are expected to have knowledge of soil mechanics, at the level of City & Guilds Advanced Technician Diploma 6165-30-073 or relevant HND or other equivalent. 52 Level 6 Graduate Diploma in Engineering (9210-01)
Unit 108 Highway engineering Assessment Criteria Outcome 1 Apply the principles of traffic planning to design for road safety and traffic control The learner can: 1. Describe uninterrupted and interrupted traffic flow. 2. Explain measures of traffic volume, vehicle speed, vehicle headway and traffic density and their fundamental relationships. 3. Identify characteristics of traffic flow: urban and rural. 4. Recognise the uses of traffic data. 5. Plan traffic surveys: a. design of field sheets and summary sheets b. selection and training of personnel 6. Recognise features of flow and control measures and analyse data from traffic surveys 7. Describe types of intersections. 8. Recognise the objectives and methods of traffic control a. traffic control between intersections b. traffic control at intersections: priority control, police control, traffic signals c. merits and demerits of traffic control methods 9. Explain traffic signs and carriageway marking: a. classification of signs: regulatory, warning and information b. standards of size, shape and colour c. placement and illumination d. functions and limitations of carriageway marking e. longitudinal and transverse marking f. classes of marking and their dimensions g. night visibility 10. Describe on-street and off street parking layouts and management of parking. 11. Discuss parking surveys: parking supply, parking usage and parking duration surveys. 12. Explain principles of street lighting; purpose, lantern types, arrangement and spacing, mounting, lighting along roads and at intersections. 13. Recognise the importance of road safety and factors contributing to cause accidents: road user, vehicle, road and the environment. 14. Collect and analyse accident data to make proposals for improvement. Outcome 2 Demonstrate knowledge of highway construction and maintenance The learner can: 1. Recognise the development in road construction. 2. Demonstrate and apply knowledge of techniques of route planning: a. highway planning procedure: surveys, interpretation of data, master plan and phased implementation b. highway alignment; factors controlling alignment, stages of the process, final location and detailing c. project formulation d. realignment projects.
