CE6012 Sustainable Infrastructure and Environment Coursework Assessment Brief - KUL

Assessment task and specific terms 

The aim of the coursework is to analyse an existing T junction (Intersection of Brighton Road/Victoria Road in Surbiton, Surrey) and propose a new design which would accommodate an increased traffic.

1. The Google map view of the location:
2. The Traffic streams using the Junction:
3. The Existing Traffic Volume Data measured on Wednesday (02.10.2019): 

The report should include/cover the following tasks:

1. .An introduction: aim of "Traffic Assessment" (refer to the National Planning Policy Framework);
2. Information about traffic surveys, types of survey and expected results.
3. Explain the use of PCUs;
4. Describe the location and type of the junction being considered and the general information about the traffic flow on the major arm and minor arm;
5. Using the survey data, given as collected, and Junctions 8prove that the junction works. Comment on the results (LOS, type of traffic flow, etc);
6. Manipulate the data, with a rationale (i.e. the impact of a new development on the local traffic; generated and attracted trips), to make the junction fail (first Growth Factor);
7. Assume a growth factor (second Growth Factor) between 1 and 2. Comment on the results (LOS, type of traffic flow, etc);
8. Produce a viable solution, i.e. a roundabout design, drawn up using Vehicle tracking (AutoCAD);
9. Check that an articulated lorry (British, FTA 1998 16.5m) can maneuver round the roundabout by carrying out a swept path analysis (attach A3 drawing);
10. Check if the LOS of the proposed upgrade is satisfactory (for Both the Existing and the Future Traffic). Use Junctions 8to design and analyse a roundabout solution using the increased traffic data (applying the Growth Factor); if no viable solution is to be achieved, propose option(s) for other solutions. 
11. Show the LOS of the 3 arms (attach A3 drawings with all relevant technical information: geometry, visibility, entry path curvature);
12. Discuss the workability of the final solution;
