Course Objective and Content
| Course Objectives: | The purpose of this course is to design a new railway line and determine operational conditions. The topics covered in this class includes: Railway traffic survey. Project standards. Horizontal allignment - route study. Horizontal allignment – railway plan. Horizontal allignment – superelevation and transition curves. Vertical allignment – railway profile. Train graphs. Economical analysis. |
| Course Content: | At the end of this course the student will be able to: • Analyze transportation demand • Define project standards • Design horizontal alignment of a railway route • Design vertical alignment of a railway route • Design simple train graphs • Make feasibility analysis of transportation projects |
