| GENERAL OBJECTIVE THE COURSE AIMS TO ALLOW THE STUDENT TO: - LEARN, BY MEANS OF STUDYING BOTH THE INTERACTION HUMAN BEHAVIOUR-ROAD ENVIRONMENT-VEHICLE AND THE ROAD RULES, THE BASIC GEOMETRIC ELEMENTS NECESSARY FOR AN ADEQUATE UNDERSTANDING OF ROAD INFRASTRUCTURE PROJECTS, WITH PARTICULAR REFERENCE TO ROADS; - ACQUIRE THE ABILITY TO EXPRESS ONESELF IN TECHNICAL LANGUAGE AND TO CORRECTLY REPRESENT THE ELEMENTS CHARACTERIZING A ROAD LAYOUT FROM THE PLANO-ALTIMETRIC POINT OF VIEW. KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING THE STUDENT: - WILL KNOW THE TERMINOLOGY AND REGULATIONS USED IN THE GEOMETRIC DESIGN OF A ROAD LAYOUT; - WILL UNDERSTAND ROAD DESIGNS FROM THE PLANO-ALTIMETRIC POINT OF VIEW. APPLYING KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING THE STUDENT WILL BE ABLE TO: - APPLY, IN THE FIELD OF NORMATIVE REFERENCES, THE KNOWLEDGE AND THEORETICAL SKILLS ACQUIRED TO ARRIVE AT A CORRECT REPRESENTATION OF THE GEOMETRIC ELEMENTS CHARACTERIZING A ROAD LAYOUT; - KNOW HOW TO UNDERSTAND, FROM A PLANO-ALTIMETRIC POINT OF VIEW, THE PROFESSIONAL ROAD PROJECTS MADE BY OTHER ENGINEERS. MAKING JUDGEMENTS THE STUDENT WILL BE ABLE TO: - IDENTIFY THE MOST APPROPRIATE METHODS FOR UNDERSTANDING AND REPRESENTING THE BASIC GEOMETRIC ELEMENTS CONSTITUTING A ROAD INFRASTRUCTURE PROJECT, ALSO IN RELATION TO THE ENVIRONMENTAL CONTEXT IN WHICH THE ROAD LAYOUT IS DEVELOPED. COMMUNICATION SKILLS THE STUDENT WILL BE ABLE TO: - KNOW HOW TO EXPRESS ONESELF WITH PROPERTIES OF LANGUAGE WITH RESPECT TO THE SPECIFIC TERMINOLOGY OF THE DISCIPLINE. LEARNING SKILLS THE STUDENT WILL BE ABLE TO: - KEEP THE KNOWLEDGE GAINED; - FOLLOW THE PROCESS OF UPDATING ROAD KNOWLEDGE AUTONOMOUSLY. |
| Prerequisites | |
|---|---|
| THE TEACHING PRESUPPOSES BASIC KNOWLEDGE OF PHYSICS AND MATHEMATICS. IN ORDER TO UNDERSTAND AND BE ABLE TO APPLY THE TOPICS COVERED IN THE TEACHING, IT IS NECESSARY TO HAVE PASSED THE PROPAEDEUTIC EXAM IN "MECHANICS OF STRUCTURES". |

| THE COURSE, AFTER AN INTRODUCTION, TEACHES: CRITERIA AND METHODS FOR THE DESIGN OF HORIZONTAL AND VERTICAL ROAD ALIGNMENT (1 HOUR OF FRONTAL THEORETICAL LECTURE). TRACTIVE EFFORT, RESISTANCE OF VEHICLES, SIDE FORCE COEFFICIENT, STOPPING AND PASSING SIGHT DISTANCES (2 HOURS OF THEORETICAL FRONTAL LECTURES, 1 HOUR OF CLASSROOM EXERCISES). EQULIBRIUM OF VEHICLE IN A ROAD CURVE. DESIGNING OF HORIZONTAL CURVE RADIUS (2 HOURS OF THEORETICAL FRONTAL LECTURES, 1 HOUR OF CLASSROOM EXERCISES). DESIGNING OF HORIZONTAL TRANSITION CURVES (4 HOURS OF THEORETICAL FRONTAL LECTURES, 2 HOURS OF CLASSROOM EXERCISES). DESIGNING OF A ROAD INCLUDING CURVES, TRANSITION CURVES, AND TANGENTS, AS WELL AS COORDINATING HORIZONTAL AND VERTICAL ALIGNMENTS (2 HOURS OF THEORETICAL FRONTAL LECTURES, 2 HOURS OF CLASSROOM EXERCISES). LONGITUDINAL PROFILE OF CROSS SECTION AND CORRECTIONS. PLOTS OF CURVATURE, SPEED, STOPPING AND PASSING SIGHT DISTANCES (2 HOURS OF THEORETICAL FRONTAL LECTURES, 1 HOUR OF CLASSROOM EXERCISES). VERTICAL ALIGNMENT (3 HOURS OF THEORETICAL FRONTAL LECTURES, 1 HOUR OF CLASSROOM EXERCISES). |
| Teaching Methods | |
|---|---|
| TEACHING INVOLVES 24 HOURS (3 CFU) OF DIDACTICS BETWEEN FRONTAL THEORETICAL LECTURES AND IN-CLASS EXERCISES. SPECIFICALLY, THERE ARE 16 HOURS (2 CFU) OF FRONTAL THEORETICAL LECTURES AND 8 HOURS (1 CFU) OF IN-CLASS EXERCISES. IN DETAIL, THE COURSE CONSISTS OF: - FRONTAL THEORETICAL LECTURES IN CLASS THAT WILL ENABLE THE STUDENT TO ACQUIRE THE BASIC KNOWLEDGE NECESSARY FOR AN ADEQUATE UNDERSTANDING OF THE PLANO-ALTIMETRIC CHARACTERISTICS OF A ROAD PROJECT; - IN-CLASS EXERCISES WITH THE DEVELOPMENT OF EXERCISES THAT WILL ENABLE THE STUDENT TO APPLY THE KNOWLEDGE ACQUIRED DURING THE THEORETICAL LECTURES. THE ATTENDANCE IN THIS COURSE IS COMPULSORY. STUDENTS MUST ACHIEVE AN ATTENDANCE OF AT LEAST 70%. ATTENDANCE IS VERIFIED THROUGH ATTENDANCE SYSTEMS PROVIDED BY THE UNIVERSITY. |
| Verification of learning | |
|---|---|
| THE ACHIEVEMENT OF THE COURSE OBJECTIVES IS CERTIFIED THROUGH A SINGLE FINAL EXAM, LASTING 30 MINUTES, FOLLOWING THE END OF THE COURSE. THIS FINAL EXAMINATION CONSISTS OF AN ORAL TEST ON THE TOPICS COVERED DURING THE COURSE. THE FINAL DISCUSSION AIMS TO VERIFY THE LEVEL OF KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING ACHIEVED BY THE STUDENT, AS WELL AS TO VERIFY THE ABILITY TO USE APPROPRIATE TERMINOLOGIES. THE RESULT OF THE FINAL EXAM IS EXPRESSED WITH A MARK OUT OF THIRTY. THE SCORE OF THE ORAL EXAMINATION DEPENDS ON THE STUDENT'S ABILITY TO CORRECTLY PRESENT THE COURSE CONTENTS AND CRITICALLY DISCUSS THE TOPICS COVERED DURING THE COURSE. THE MINIMUM PASSING GRADE FOR THE FINAL EXAM IS 18/30, WHEN THE STUDENT DEMONSTRATES A SUFFICIENT LEVEL OF KNOWLEDGE OF THE SUBJECT. THE HIGHEST MARK IS 30/30, WHEN THE STUDENT SHOWS AN IN-DEPTH LEVEL OF KNOWLEDGE OF THE SUBJECT. FOR GETTING THE FULL MARKS (30/30 WITH HONORS), THE CAPACITY OF TRANSVERSE CORRELATIONS AMONG DIFFERENT TOPICS OF THE TEACHING COURSE AND/OR, WHERE POSSIBLE, WITH OTHER COURSES WILL BE TAKEN INTO ACCOUNT. |
