Selection

The selection is based on final school grades or Swedish Scholastic Aptitude Test.

Course Aim

The course will give you knowledge of the Swedish system of planning roads and railroads.

You are learned geometrical design of roads in a design project using Novapoint.

Contents

Novapoint is a model based road, highway and street design software package including intersection design. The Highway design software package includes sight distance analysis, multiple lanes and grad separated intersections. The Road design software and street design software include dynamic vehicle turning analysis and at grade intersections including automatic roundabout design. The program has complete and integrated functions for design, quantity calculations, drawings, reports and 3D visualisation. Alignment design, highway design, road design, street design, intersection design, drawing production and 3D presentation are the main components of Novapoint Road Professional.The highway design software, the road design software and the street design software support a large range of international design standards and export and import formats. The road, highway and street design model is integrated with the other Novapoint modules and allows the use user to create complete design models that can be presented in Virtual Reality or exported to construction equipment.

Realization

Teaching consists of lessons, educational visits and a design problem that will be carried out with computer aid.

Examination

Some continuous examination. There will be some written tests during the course. The project work will be graded with pass (or fail).
