OpenRoads Designer Fundamentals
In this course, students will learn how to use OpenRoads Designer on a variety of roadway projects. This hands-on training walks through the entire project design cycle, including existing ground data, geometry, superelevation, creating templates, roadway corridor design, template transitioning, template point control, sheet creation and volume calculations. By completing this course, students will be guided through a typical roadway design workflow, and allows them to completely design a simple roadway using OpenRoads Designer.
