Motion and stability of the vehicle in a straight line and in an arc. Views on roads and motorways. Categorization of roads and motorways, design parameters.
2. Principles for road and motorway design. Level of service, LOS grade. Draft corresponding road category in relation to road traffic load.
3. Directional design elements of road communications. Linear and directional arcs, design elements of clotoid and its use in road and motorway design.
4. Height design elements routes of roads and highways. Maximum and minimum slope gradients and rounding of height polygonal fractures. Planning and design of roads. Various road route design.
5. Arrangement of roads and motorways in cross-section. Widths and inclinations of lanes, sidewalks and adjacent lanes. Extension of lanes. Road overturn inclination, resulting slope. Securing of the passage profile.
6. Harmonization of the direction and elevation design of road route. Spatial effect of road routes, road aesthetics and integration of the road road to the countryside. Vegetation treatments as a safety and aesthetic element of road communications.
