There has been a significant technological advance in the field of Road engineering, especially regarding trials and materials used, pavement dimensioning methods, graphic methods for geometric projects, intelligent transportation systems, methods and techniques for project elaboration and presentation, and others, less significant.
The companies and professionals from this segment must always be up to date with the current demand levels so the products and users are transported in a safe, efficient way, and with the lowest possible cost.
Concept and practical knowledge of road costs, pavement materials, Laboratory and Ground trials, roads planning and project, computer-assisted geometric project, pavements mechanics, roads capacity analysis, safety, intelligent systems and environment are essential for the development of Road Engineering activities.
Studies are initially developed with the purpose to provide subsidies to perform Projects; they are basically the following:
Projects are performed from recommendations and data obtained in the Studies step, usually consisting in the following:
