Course Description:
Objective of the course is to introduce the students to the basic notions, elements and the operational principles of road infrastructure. During the seminar students will hear about main types, elements, design principles and priorities of transportation infrastructure. They will learn main terms of transportation dynamics, technology of junctions and carriageways. During seminars students must prepare a study plan for a rural road, completed with site plan, longitudinal and cross-sections and technical descriptions.

Competences:
be able to prepare a study plan
