Project: The Curve Road Design

This is a briefly description of one of my projects that I have designed during my study.
Design agenda:
1. Traffic analysis ( traffic volume, assessment methods and project assumptions)
2. Project assumptions and requirements
3. Calculations:
Þ Parameters of the horizontal curve
Þ Elements of the transitional curves
Þ Draw a contour plan and route of the axle road
Þ Design the gradient road and longitudinal section
Þ Parameters of the vertical curve
Þ Design cross sections
4. Draw the site plan of the designed road
All of those plans were formerly made in AutoCAD by Barbara Ropa.
