- Describe a project design process, phases and organisation.
- Exemplify current regulations and guidelines.
- Describe and use available maps and drawings as a base for the project
- Apply current project design methodology
- Explain the different steps in detailed road design
- Use a common road design computer program
- Identify obstacles and problems and chose a feasible road alignment
- Chose the constructive design of the road pavement
- Produce drawings for the horizontal and vertical alignment and for cross sections

Content
Basic project design management & terminology, standards forms for organisation of the design work. Roles and functions in a in a team; project team leader, responsible officer, different responsibility functions. Basic orientation about the significance of the design phase in relation to the different phases of the construction project.Geometric and constructive design of a road project. For the geometric design a common road design computer program will be used. A cost estimate of the project will be done.
Organisation
The project work will be performed in groups of two students (occasionally one ore three). Lectures will introduce the different steps but the project work will mainly be done in computer or lecture rooms with necessary supervision.Literature
Notes, distributed material and technical manuals from the Swedish Transport Administration.Examination including compulsory elements
No written or oral exam.The group work will be marked with pass or fail.
For a pass grade all the given assignments should be passed.
Only the grade pass will be used.
The course examiner may assess individual students in other ways than what is stated above if there are special reasons for doing so, for example if a student has a decision from Chalmers on educational support due to disability.
