Objectives
Objectives
The main learning objectives of the course unit are: • To know the basic principles of geometric design of roads; • Know the main design constraints; • Design the straight and level of a road for a given base speed; • Characterize the traffic of a road and estimate traffic volumes for design; • To evaluate the level of service and determine the capacity of a road. It is also predicted as a general objective: • Identifying the respective phases of design and implementation in road infrastructure works; • Reading and interpreting drawings of the specialty of roads. Development of knowledge for applications of: • Carrying out projects of road infrastructures; • Supervising works on road infrastructures; • Develop projects of earthworks and earthwork; • Develop a taste for Road Infrastructures.

Teaching methodologies and assessment
Teaching methodologies and assessment
The curricular unit is divided into theoretical sessions and practical sessions. Theoretical: Oral presentation of the main concepts, principles and aspects related to the geometric design of roads. Practice: Resolution of application exercises and elaboration of a geometric project of a road by the students. According to the ULP Evaluation Regulation, the student will choose the evaluation system: continuous or final. Continuous: Class questions - 10% Evaluation moments, 2 tests: 70% (35% + 35%) Practical work - 20%. Final: Exam: 100%.
