Book excerpt: The purpose of this paper is to describe an approach for considering aesthetics as integral to highway design. By 'aesthetics' I intend the true meaning of the word, enhancing the visual quality of the highway setting, integrating the road with the landscape, improving the overall form of the roadway. I do not mean simply 'beautifying' the road with trees and shrubs once the route has been selected and the road has been engineered. Consideration of aesthetics simply cannot be added to evaluation or engineering. I will, however, suggest an approach for reconsidering aesthetics, right along with geometrics and operation and safety, etc. in every stage of highway planning and design starting at the preliminary stages. A fully integrated multidisciplinary approach is essential to ensure that unquantifiable environmental amenities and values are considered along with economic, technical and quantifiable environmental concerns in highway planning and design. This means using a design team of engineers, landscape architects and planners in all phases of route selection, preliminary design and detailed design. If we assume that design is the art of making technology (in this case highways) livable, aesthetics - the integration of the highway with the landscape - should be at the foundation of the design process. It should be inherent in the design process, not only evaluated once the route has been selected or the highway has been engineered. And if it is, it need not be evaluated, because it is the basis upon which all routes or alignments were generated. We are realizing that highway design is more than an engineering problem. To reflect a higher, more responsible concern for the road's aesthetic quality, design requires a collaborative effort among many professions.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many highways have been designed in the past without regard for the melding of the highway with the topography and the visual impact on the road user. Tourism is an important economic factor in all of our Provinces and the varieties of scenic beauty are appreciated from our highways. Good geometric design can help achieve this. The prime objective of this paper is to show how geometric design can be used to provide harmony in the road alignment, open up vistas and preserve and enhance the beauty of the surroundings. By eliminating boredom and frustrations of the driver, accidents can be reduced. Key topics are: i) What we mean by aesthetics, ii) Vision in motion - relationship of space perception peripheral vision, concentration and speed, iii) Visual absorption capability, iv) Internal harmony of the highway - continuity of horizontal form and scale - continuity of vertical form and scale - three dimensional co-ordination - harmony of enclosed areas (medians), v) External harmony of the highway - integration with the macro-environment - integration with man-made structures, and vi) Relationship with roadside facilities, utilities.

Download or read book State-of-the-art of Three-dimensional Highway Geometric Design written by and published by . This book was released on 1998 with total page 12 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Geometric design is an important phase in the highway design process that is directly related to traffic safety. Highway elements should be jointly designed to account for such design criteria as sight distance, vehicle stability, driver comfort, drainage, and aesthetics. Intuitively, such a design should be based on a three-dimensional (3-D) analysis. This paper reviews the current practice and research work related to each design criterion with emphasis on the conformity with the 3-D nature of the highway. Current standards are based mainly on a two-dimensional (2-D) analysis that does not guarantee a satisfactory design. Recently, several research efforts have been expended in the 3-D highway analysis with sight distance being the most researched area. Analytical models and computer software have been developed to accurately model 3-D daytime and nighttime sight distances. Roads designed using current 2-D standards may compromised safety or economy. Different models are currently available to simulate the forces acting on a vehicle in 3-D. These models show that the point-mass formula for modeling vehicle dynamics in the current standards can be inaccurate. Current standards contain recommendations for drainage of surface water, but explicit quantitative coordination of combined alignments is lacking, Furthermore, research is still needed to study the effect of alignment coordination on highway aesthetics and driver's perception of information.
