Description

Field survey techniques in plane surveying. Survey Camp. Traffic flow theory. Geometric design of roads and railways and associated surveying calculations.

(a) The basics of surveying (levelling, traversing, mapping and setting out);
(b) The fundamental concepts of transportation, driver behaviour and traffic flow;
(c) The principles of geometric design for roads and railways.
(d) Introduction to Geographic Information Systems (GIS).

The course will comprise 30 lectures plus 18 hours of practical work, as well as a field survey camp where students will apply the course material to real-life projects

Practical surveying skills are expected by most employers. This course is expected to develop skills to the level where the student can handle plan and complete or oversee an engineering survey. GIS will be introduced as a tool for spatial data analysis and management of surveying, transport, and natural resources data and information.

Learning Outcomes

This course is expected to develop student skills to the level where the student can handle plans and complete or oversee an engineering survey, and understand the basic principles of geometric design and the importance of human factors.
