This is an eLearning Program where learning occurs solely online.
This program is ideal for all engineers, designers and project staff, managers or planners who are involved in planning and designing roadsides and road safety barriers.
At the completion of this program participants will be able to:
- Apply the generalised hazard assessment process in their projects.
- Understand standard roadside and road safety barrier terminology.
- Use road safety barrier design theory to calculate standard barrier requirements.
- Identify hazards and select suitable treatments under a given context.
- Understand the philosophies governing roadside design.

Everyone, including designers, has a responsibility to minimise environmental impacts on the Roadside. During the design process, you need to be aware of these impacts and then consider how to address them through the design.
Federal, state and local legislation must be complied with by all government departments and we can achieve compliance (Law) in our work by abiding with environmental duty, policies, standards and guidelines. A competent designer can demonstrate due diligence by seeking out advice from those whom specialise in environmental aspects and roadside environment.
This is part one of a three part course. This module provides key information on the various environment and cultural heritage aspects that need to be considered during design.

This course is to provide a detailed technical foundation of horizontal alignment design including transitions, superelevation and curve widening.
Various design criteria need to be considered when developing a suitable horizontal alignment and this is often influenced by vehicle speed and driver capability. It must also be designed in conjunction with the vertical alignment.
This course will also assist in selecting appropriate elements being mindful of alignment co-ordination and overall visual appearance.

This program is to explain in more detail the various road design elements and parameters introduced in the Road Design Awareness course and how they contribute to developing suitable road design projects.
At the completion of this program participants will have gained additional knowledge of the following main parameters contributing to the geometric design of road alignments:
- Speed parameters
- Cross sections
- Sight distance
- Horizontal alignment
- Vertical alignment

This program is designed to develop the required knowledge and skills to apply the fundamentals of vehicular speed along the road network. Interactive lectures, discussion, real life case studies and exercises form the basis of this program.
Program Outcomes
Upon completion of this program participants will be able to:
- Understand the principles of speed and apply it appropriately to Road Design in accordance with accepted engineering standards and guide manuals
- by way of both theoretical and practical tutorials, integrate speed knowledge into the detail design and/or management of the department's projects utilising:
- operational or design speed formulas
- sight distance formulas
Target Audience
All personnel, contractors and local government authorities who are or will be involved in the planning, design and management of road infrastructure projects.
Prerequisites
Completion of Speed Parameters Fundamentals online course.
Business Benefits
This program will enhance participants knowledge and skills in interpreting and/or preparing detailed civil engineering design projects consistent with the Department of Transport and Main Roads standards.
In addition, it will strengthen participants proficiency in the application of traffic speed fundamentals by investigating motorist behaviour and expectations to enhance safety and minimise risks.
Program Content
- Overview of Transport & Main Roads design manuals and requirements
- Additional Speed terminology
- Analysis of recorded speed data
- Design speed practice including Limiting Curve Speed
- Operating Speed Model and its application
