Highway Coursework
Date of submission Proposal: 28th APRIL, 2019
Report: 19th MAY, 2019
Aims and Objectives
The highways part of the module aims to provide students with a basic understanding of highway design and
construction, an understanding of the practices associated with highway route selection, the analysis of
traffic flows, vehicular behavior, highway capacity and related issues of environment and sustainability.
Outcomes:
1. Discuss methods of transport planning process and highway planning strategies.
2. Apply and evaluate methods of analysis of highway traffic and signalized intersections.
3. Evaluate the principles of highway alignment, and carry out geometric design and intersection
designs, including environmental aspects.
Introduction:
The road network of any city is its lifeline and the evaluation of their performance is very necessary for
future traffic planning, design, operation and maintenance. Traffic congestion is the common problem of
most urban area in Oman; most of the roads are congested.
The following project should be solved individually. In the project, students will have hands-on experience in
discussing methods of transport planning process, evaluate methods of analysis of highway traffic and
signalized intersections, and carry out geometric design and intersection designs.
Data:
Each student will have his own data that is given in the attached “CourseWork Project-Data” Excel
sheet.

1. You have been hired as a consultant to a medium-sized city to develop and implement a procedure
for evaluating three alternatives to replace an existing two-lane highway with a four-lane highway
that will meet current design standards are proposed. The selected alternative will provide a more
direct route between two towns that are 12.0 miles apart along the existing highway. With each
alternative operating speeds are expected to be at or near the design speed of 60 miles per hour.
Develop the scores for each alternative and recommend a preferred alternative for development. The
following scoring method, developed by the transportation oversight board, is to be used (10 marks)

Intersection Design (30 Marks)
1. Task I (10 Marks)
a. Describe the different principles involved in the design of at-grade intersections and the different types
of at-grade intersections. Also, give an example of an appropriate location for the use of each type. (2
