8. Highway Economics & FinanceFinancing of road projects, administration of roads, PPP models, Road safety audit, Methods of economic evaluation of highway projects
9. Traffic EngineeringRoad user characteristics, vehicular characteristics, traffic flow characteristics, speed, traffic volume studies, parking studies -definition, purpose, types, survey methods. Accident studies -purpose, types, causes, collision diagram, condition diagram, preventive measures. Traffic control devices like pavement marking, signs, signals. Traffic management, various types of intersection and their designconcept
Detail knowledge of Geometric Design of Expressway & Advanced Transportation Engineering will make you expert, also you will be taught higher design consideration and parameters for expressways. You will also learn Geometric Design for HIGHWAYS and RAILWAYS on advanced bentley software. The course will also include case study of super communication expressway. The course will also include case study of super communication expressway.
THIS COURSE CONTAINS TOTAL SIX MODULES, EACH MODULE IS HAVING VARIOUS SUBTOPICS EXPLAINED. THIS COURSE IS BEST SUITABLE FOR THE STUDENTS WHO FIND THIS SUBJECT AS DIFFICULT, BECAUSE ALL THE COMPLEX PROBLEMS ARE DISCUSSED IN SIMPLE MANNER ON CLOUD WHITEBOARD TECHNOLOGY, ALSO ADVANCED POWER POINT PRESENTATIONS, ANIMATIONS ARE USED SO AS STUDENTS SHOULD UNDERSTAND IN EASIEST WAY..
