The Transport Infrastructure course consists of nine lectures.
The lectures introduce students to a wide array of aspects of road design. Students learn about the different types of roads, all of which should be designed in accordance with their function. Students will learn about the various different elements of the road that should be taken into account when developing new transport infrastructure. Such elements include the road alignment, design speed, cross-section, intersections and discontinuities. Additionally, the course includes modules specifically focused on safe infrastructure design, speed management and infrastructure for public transport and vulnerable road users. There is also a lecture on road safety analysis by means of the AVOC methodology. The lectures conclude with a module on road construction and sustainable maintenance.
The majority of your learning will be done through self-study, based on the course material that is made available online. You will have access to a range of useful online learning materials such as online lectures, reading materials, as well as access to thousands of e-books, online journals and other resources via our online university library. Approximately mid-semester, an online interactive Question and Answer session will be organized, where students can meet the course lecturer and fellow students online and have the opportunity to go deeper into the course material.

| Explanation (English) | All evaluations will be done online, whether by submission of assignments or by taking written or oral exams online, or a combination of assignments and exams. Written exams will be done with online proctoring (exam supervision) to retain the integrity of a supervised exam, while providing the flexibility of an online platform. For the online exams, distance learning students should ensure to have a laptop/pc with a working webcam and microphone, a charged mobile device (phone/tablet) and a stable internet connection (minimum upload speed of 1.5 MB/second), as well as a quiet, secluded room to take the exam in. |
