This program is to define Road Design and what is involved. It will introduce typical components of a road. You will learn how recognising the existing road and integrating new elements enables a designer to produce a suitable solution. This course also mentions external issues to the road design process that have to be considered to ensure appropriate outcomes.

This course is designed to provide knowledge and develop skills in fundamental drainage (hydrology and hydraulic).

Participants will also develop an awareness of basic site assessment, hyrdrological conditions, design standards, determintation of catchment runoff for rural environments and fundamentals of open channel flow.

This program introduces the Road Draining Design Manual (RDM) and defines its purpose and usage.

This course will help you understand the relationship between the Road Planning and Design Manual and the Austroads Guide to Road Design. It will also contain information on how to read the publications in conjunction with each other.

The primary document used by the department to engage engineering consultants for the preconstruction phases of road design is the Project Brief. This presentation will provide project managers and other staff involved in the procurement of engineering services for design with some guidelines that will assist in providing a more comprehensive and robust project scoping document.

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.

This course sets out the design philosophy principles in technical documents standards, drawings and specifications which underpin the creation of a successful design. It will define the design domain concept where the design domain for a new road is traditionally referred to as the ‘normal design domain’.

This course expands upon the Design Philosophy and Domain Awareness program by incorporating expanded design domains and design exceptions. Both of these concepts are acknowledged in the Austroads Guide to Road Design and TMR Road Planning and Design Manual. 

The purpose of this course is to outline the processes and practices that underpin the implementation of Building Information Modelling (BIM) in transport infrastructure projects and the role it plays for the department.

This course has been designed to align with the BIM Training Guide. 

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.

The Design Parameters Introduction course is to explain the design brief or functional specification which sets out the client’s expectations for the project with available knowledge.

It will precisely define expected content of the brief to enable work to proceed.

You will gain an awareness of the documentation required to provide deliverables for various phases of the preconstruction process.

This course is an awareness session, and will answer the following questions:

• What is BIM, and how does it apply to TMR?
• Who in TMR needs to know?
• What are the benefits of BIM?

This course is aimed at anyone working in TMR who wishes to know more about BIM.

BIM or Building Information Model is the digital depiction of the complete process of delivering an infrastructure project from Planning to Handover.

The BIM Fundamentals module is the initial of two modules aimed at TMR project delivery process (design and construction) and handover.

It delineates the essential steps and supplementary materials necessary for a project manager to initiate and accomplish a project effectively with the integration of BIM practices.

This course is to introduce the human factors that influence the planning and design of road facilities contributing to defining road functions within the road network.

This course is to further explain the components of the cross sectional profile, as introduced in the Geometric Road Design Introductory course.This course will give more clarity on the various elements and selection of values in design.

This course is to further explain various types of speed mentioned in the Geometric Road Design Introduction course, such as:

• Desired Speed
• Operating Speed
• Posted Speed
• 85th Percentile Speed
• Design Speed
• Limiting Curve Speed
• how roads operate.

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 module provides key information on the various Roadside Infrastructure and Environment Safety Considerations that need to be considered during design.

Sight distance is critical in determining the geometry of a road alignment.

During this course various factors will be raised that contribute to defining the distance a motorist can see to an object such as:

• the ability to stop in time before collision depending on the vehicle speed
• deceleration rates for different vehicle types, weather conditions and driver capability
• reaction times and
• corrections to breaking distances due to the vertical grade of the road.

This is the second course in TMR's Project Management Foundation Training Program

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 course will provide an introduction to the design domain and technical foundation of basic design elements for vertical alignments, including:

• Vertical curves (parabolic curves)
• Curve lengths
• Sight distance over Vertical curves
• Minimum / Maximum Grades.

This course will reinforce a holistic design approach when designing alignments and the interaction between elements.It will provide reasonable understanding and design application with regard to:

• steep grades
• floodways and drainage issues
• self-explaining roads and driver perception
• geometric consistency and optimisation
• Superelevation and transitions
• alignment design to limit operating speed or desired speed
• balances and trade-offs.

This course will provide you with an understanding and skill to enable appropriate selection and use of auxiliary lanes in road infrastructure designs. You will also gain an understanding on how to improve traffic operation efficiency.

his course will introduce the learner to:Warrants, Intersection types, Relative speed Basic requirements, Conflicts, Identify safety issuesSight distance models.The learner will also develop knowledge of the following intersection sight distance models and how to apply them:Safe Intersection Sight Distance (SISD)Approach Sight Distance (ASD)Minimum Gap Sight Distance (MGSD).
