It includes: PART A Unit summary PART B Your Unit in more detail PART C Further information "Swinburne University of Technology recognises the historical and cultural significance of Australia's Indigenous history and the role it plays in contemporary education Each day in Australia, we all walk on traditional Indigenous land We therefore acknowledge the traditional custodians of the land that our Australian campuses currently occupy, the Wurundjer| people, and pay respect to Elders past and present, including those from other areas who now reside on Wurundjeri land" SWIN BUR NE SWINBURNE UNIVERSITY OF TECHNOLOGY
PART A: Unit Summary Unit Code(s) CVE30003 Unit Title Transport Engineering Duration One Semester Total Contact Hours 54 Requisites: Pre-requisites CVE20005 Road Engineering Co-requisites Concurrent pre-requisites Anti-requisites Assumed knowledge Topographical Engineering Credit Points 12.5 Campus/Location Hawthorn Mode of Delivery Face-to-face and blended Assessment Summary Aims Continuous: 50% Post-unit Examination: 50% As the minimum requirements of assessment to pass a unit and meet all Unit Learning Outcomes to a minimum standard, a student must achieve: (i) an aggregate mark of 50% or more, and (ii) at least 40% in the final exam. Students who do not successfully achieve hurdle requirement (ii) will receive a maximum of 45% as the total mark for the unit. This unit of study aims to develop an understanding of road transport system elements, planning process and integration of modes, apply traffic flow theories in assessing the performance of routes and intersections and use current guidelines in the design of geometric layout. This is in addition to developing an understanding of key types and features of railways including underlying systems, geometric design principles applied to track alignment and systems and interfaces required to move people and goods safely and efficiently. Unit Learning Outcomes Students who successfully complete this Unit should be able to: 1. Describe the four-step transport planning process, data requirements and collection. 2. Analyse and assess the performance of routes and intersections through an understanding of traffic flow theories and the use of hand calculations and relevant software. 3. Apply the principles and objectives of geometric design in the design of intersections using current guidelines and generate a complete set of high standard plans and high quality reports as part of a team.

4. Appreciate and consider the needs of all road users, their interaction and management of their movement in an efficient and safe manner. 5. Understand the key types and features of railways including underlying systems, geometric design principles applied to track alignment, systems and interfaces required to move people and goods safely and efficiently. Graduate Attributes This unit may contribute to the development of the following Swinburne Graduate Attributes: · Communication skills " Teamwork skills · Digital literacies Content · Transport system planning process, objectives and performance measures of road transport system. · Transport integration, sustainability and road
