ROAD: Interactive Geometric Design Tool for Transportation Education and Training
Traditionally, transportation engineering students have used engineering drawing techniques to manually lay out lines and curves over contour maps for highway geometric design. The design process requires numerous calculations of stopping sight distance, minimum turning radius, and curve alignments to minimize economic and environmental impact and construction costs. Students usually perform it...
متن کاملinvestigating the feasibility of a proposed model for geometric design of deployable arch structures
deployable scissor type structures are composed of the so-called scissor-like elements (sles), which are connected to each other at an intermediate point through a pivotal connection and allow them to be folded into a compact bundle for storage or transport. several sles are connected to each other in order to form units with regular polygonal plan views. the sides and radii of the polygons are...
Development of an Online Roadway Geometry Design Software for Transportation Education and Training
Traditionally, students use pencil and ruler to lay out lines and curves over contour maps for roadway geometry design. Numerous calculations of stopping sight distance, minimum turning radius, and curve alignments are required during the roadway design process in order to ensure safety, to minimize economic and environmental impacts, as well as to reduce construction costs. Students usually pe...
متن کاملA Road Map for Civil Engineers towards Bridge Engineering Through Academic Education and Professional Training
It is common in many countries that engineers having an academic degree in Civil Engineering are appointed responsible for different tasks related to Bridge Engineering. However, there are serious questions about whether formal university courses in civil engineering could cover the needs of a bridge engineer to fulfill his or her job successfully. Regarding the recent significant advances in t...
متن کاملSimulating Transportation for Realistic Engineering Education and Training Engaging Undergraduate Students in Transportation Studies
to solve new problems that arise.” Previous studies, however, have revealed a decrease in the hourly requirements of transportation-related courses offered for undergraduate students (3, 4), and entry-level engineers lack significant exposure to transportation engineering methodologies (3). To solve this problem, the transportation engineering curriculum, both in its content and teaching method...
