The "Geometric and Traffic Aspects of Highway" course introduces Indian highway development and classification, covering highway alignment, cross-sectional elements, supporting facilities, and pavement layers. Learners will gain insights into the geometric design of highways, focusing on safety, driver comfort, and operational efficiency. Key topics include sight distance for road safety, horizontal alignment elements such as superelevation and transition curves, and vertical alignment considerations, including gradients and curve types like summit and valley curves. The course will also explore highway drainage, including catchment analysis, discharge calculations, and hydraulic drain design. Traffic engineering will be covered, starting with principles, characteristics, volume surveys, and studies on parking and accidents, followed by data analysis and road capacity planning. Additionally, learners will examine traffic control devices, including signs, signals, pavement markings, junctions, interchanges, rotaries, and road furniture. By the end of the course, learners will have essential knowledge in highway geometric planning, drainage, traffic engineering, and control devices. Target learners include civil engineering graduate and post-graduate students, as well as professionals in transportation and infrastructure development, with prerequisites in Concrete Technology, Geotechnical Engineering, Building Materials & Construction, and Construction Equipment & Methods.

Foire Aux Questions
Access to lectures and assignments depends on your type of enrollment. If you take a course in audit mode, you will be able to see most course materials for free. To access graded assignments and to earn a Certificate, you will need to purchase the Certificate experience, during or after your audit. If you don't see the audit option:
The course may not offer an audit option. You can try a Free Trial instead, or apply for Financial Aid.
The course may offer 'Full Course, No Certificate' instead. This option lets you see all course materials, submit required assessments, and get a final grade. This also means that you will not be able to purchase a Certificate experience.
When you enroll in the course, you get access to all of the courses in the Specialization, and you earn a certificate when you complete the work. Your electronic Certificate will be added to your Accomplishments page - from there, you can print your Certificate or add it to your LinkedIn profile. If you only want to read and view the course content, you can audit the course for free.
