Many professionals lack confidence in their report-writing skills, and feel that their credibility suffers because their written reports are not a fair reflection of their expertise. Anyone involved in technical work will quickly discover the challenges presented when trying to communicate their ideas, information, proposals or recommendations to colleagues and clients. All too often, the impact of many hours of work can hinge on the ability to explain the results effectively to others.

Continuing cut-backs and restraint in funding of highway construction and maintenance has led to even greater need for practitioners to gain an appreciation and understanding of cost-effective highway design, specification and implementation.

The principles of highway engineering apply not only to the construction of major new road schemes, but also to smaller improvements, deconstruction and on-going road maintenance. Design approaches are related to DMRB, also to the Manual for Streets. This two-day course will consider the roles and responsibilities of highway authorities and consultants.

Additionally it will guide participants through highway design and construction of new or remodelled roads.

Parking management and provision is a key concern to industry professionals and the general public alike. Balancing the apparent need for parking facilities with the often conficting demand for kerbside space is a complex issue which typically goes beyond applying strict technical rationale. There are also social, political and economic aspects to be considered. This course focuses on providing participants with a clear understanding of how to develop evidence based solutions for parking issues whilst avoiding common mistakes.

Through evaluation of industry guidance and case studies along with practical workshop exercises, participants will appreciate what might constitute best practice in sustainable, transparent and safe parking scheme design. They will also examine the underlying issues with consideration as to how typical challenges might best be met.

Traditional data collection methods, such as traffic counts and video monitoring, could soon be obsolete, replaced by predictive ‘big data’ techniques. Mobile Network Data can provide a valuable data source to transportation projects and provide a wealth of information insights relating to user trips and user behaviour. It has benefits over existing data collection sources due to its sample size, geographic extent and the ability to request data over a defined time period over the last two years. Mobile Network Data has been successfully applied to transport projects, often for input into Origin-Destination matrices, providing a detailed breakdown of origin-destination trips, trip purpose, trip frequency, route and mode.

This course provides an introduction to the mobile technology and how data is processed in order to provide insight to the transportation industry. Alongside this, the course will provide an introduction into uses cases and summarises the benefits and limitations of this data source.

Increasing importance is now being placed on the role of consultation and public participation as part of the policy and infrastructure scheme development process. Policy and best practice guidance encourages those involved, national and local government agencies, other public sector bodies, developers, and other agencies, to consider using both established innovative tools to engage with communities.

Not only is it important to ensure that public sector bodies ‘tick the boxes’ for public participation, but it is also important to ensure that projects achieve buy-in from the communities that they affect and reach people traditionally excluded from the conversation on built environment issues.

This course sets out what responsible organisations must do to enable inclusive development. In addition, and possibly even more important, it demonstrates, through practical case studies, the difference between running public participation well and running it badly.

The increasing frequency of flooding and a growing awareness

of the effects of climate change are drivers towards a greater

recognition of the importance of effective surface water

drainage systems.

This two day course aims to provide up-to-date information

on current practice concerning design, construction and

maintenance of highway drainage systems. Legislation with

particular reference to the Flood & Water Management Act 2010

together with design and construction standards, appropriate

materials and innovative solutions will be covered, focusing on

achieving effective and maintainable drainage systems. Due

emphasis is given to environmental aspects arising from climate

change, the provision of Sustainable Urban Drainage Systems

(SuDS) and mitigation of flood risk. The course is presented by

recognised experts in their field, who have extensive experience

in the highways industry.

This one-day course will highlight common mistakes that can occur

during the planning and design of bus interchanges and infrastructure.

Exploring issues that may at first appear minor, but if not identified and

addressed early can result in challenging and costly remedial work

during the construction and post opening phases of the project.

Many of these design issues occur because the designers or those

approving the design may lack the specialist knowledge of bus

interchange requirements, vehicle manoeuvrability and transport

operations. Taught through practical examples and case studies, the

course will provide an introduction to the topic, allowing potential

issues to be recognised and removed at the design stage enabling

costly and time consuming issues to be avoided.

The legacies of the traffic-dominated planning era are clearly visible in

cities worldwide. This is reflected in neighbourhoods without walkways, in

public spaces made redundant by parked vehicles, and in urban highways

that segregate neighbourhoods in order to serve sprawling suburbs. The

negative outcomes of heavy automotive use on urban everyday life are

significant: air and noise pollution, premature death and injuries in road

accidents, car-centric lifestyle health problems, and traffic congestion.

This course sets out the strategic drivers that are shaping our future cities.

It examines the movement and place dimensions, identifies the various

benefits of walking and how liveable, healthy, complete streets can be

achieved by quantitative and qualitative measurements. Supporting the

delivery of high-density, mixed use developments that are planned around

active and sustainable travel will ensure that urban growth is good growth.

The modelling of junctions, road networks and public transport systems

provides fundamental information to support decisions taken on

future land uses, investment in the transport system and other policy

interventions. With modelling tools ranging from “simple” equations

through to highly complex mathematical, algorithm based systems,

many people responsible for commissioning modelling activities find

modelling a daunting area of responsibility. This course provides an

introduction to the modelling tools commonly used, providing delegates

with an understanding of the applicability of different models to various

situations, and equips practitioners with simple techniques for checking

model outputs.

The reduction in personnel within many local authorities has led to internal staff and term consultants having to become familiar with wider and varying areas of activity, often without being provided sufficient training on the legal requirements placed on highway authorities. In addition, current pressures on the management of a highway network plus the delivery of projects can often mean that not all practitioners have a clear understanding of the powers, duties, legal and administrative bases on which these are maintained, managed and promoted.

This one-day course provides an essential insight into the distinction between law and guidance and the risks that can arise from any departure. It will cover the main duties, statutory and discretionary powers and obligations placed on highway and traffic practitioners by UK highway and traffic legislation.

Traffic Orders are an essential requirement for just about every

enforceable restriction that applies to the highway, and will be required

for the construction and operation of many transport infrastructure

schemes.

This course provides delegates with an understanding of the

formal stages involved in processing of permanent, temporary and

experimental Traffic Orders together with associated notices that can

be used to control the use of the highway.

Offering invaluable insight into the process for creating these legal

documents, this course will review where traffic orders are best used

and the limits of their powers. The format of the course includes group

work and case studies covering the format, interpretation and use of

the different traffic orders, and is delivered by a leading traffic order

practitioner.
