Study Notes
Surveying and Sampling
- Avoid bias by ensuring every population individual is invited to respond.
- Representative sampling requires careful selection of individuals across important characteristics.
- The most reliable sampling method gives every combination of individuals an equal chance of selection.
Road Safety Markings
- Thermoplastic lane markings offer visual, audio, and motion warnings for motorists.
- Rumble strips indicate increased vehicle safety but lane lines should not extend across:
- Signalized intersections.
- Side street entrances unless one-way.
- Past the taper at multi-lane road narrows.
- Lane lines of low priority roads must cease at intersections.
Pavement Markings and Messages
- Messages on pavement should be limited to six words or less.
- Types of pavement and curb markings include:
- Longitudinal lines, transverse lines, lane lines, and center lines.
- Shoulder paving enhances pavement integrity, provides width for markings, and adds safety to prevent skidding.
Road Design Considerations
- Design of overtaking and climbing lanes must account for diverge taper, auxiliary lane length, and merge taper.
- Safety barriers are warranted based on slope steepness, unforgiving hazards, and water hazards in the clear zone.
Nautical Terms
- A body of water that remains navigable to a harbour is known as a 'fairway'.
- Structures built into water but not parallel to the coastline include jetties, piers, and wharfs.
Azimuth Calculation and Design
- To determine south with a watch, align the hour hand with the sun's position and find the midpoint.
- Minimum sag vertical K value considers sight distance, low filling requirements, and riding comfort.
- Step-by-step azimuth calculation involves planning, performing, checking calculations, and calculating both clockwise and counter-clockwise.
Vehicle Capacity
- Capacity reflects the maximum number of vehicles or passengers a facility can accommodate under service limitations.
- Capacity is a primary safety consideration in geometric highway, runway, and taxiway design.
Control Types in Jobsite Management
- Primary, secondary, and working control categorize jobsite management.
Vehicle Measurement Basics
- Density measures vehicles per unit distance on roadways, often expressed in vehicles per mile or kilometer.
- Flow indicates the number of vehicles that pass a particular point over time.
