Description:
The Freeway and Interchange Planning and Geometric Design Workshop is a 3 day professional development course for transportation planners, traffic engineers and highway designers. It is an advanced level course for those with at least two years of experience and an appropriate educational background. The course contains lectures, demonstrations, and problems (projects) for maximum involvement and understanding by the participants. The projects demonstrate the interchange selection/design study process, concept application of operational and design guidelines in the 2001 AASHTO Policy, and operational analysis and simulation techniques for freeways and interchanges. The material is based on many years of practical experience presented in power point and overhead transparencies.

Each participant in the course will receive a set of reference materials in a 3-ring binder for use during the course and after. The reference materials are approximately 500 pages of text, figures, tables, and photographs. Participants are required to supply pencils, note paper, pocket calculator, small pair of triangles, and a scale (U.S. Customary Units) to accomplish course problems (projects).
