4. Unit Requirements
The student must read and understand all the information in the Unit Requirements before completing the
Student Pack.
5. Feedback to student
Feedback on the student’s assessment performance is a vital element of learning. Its purpose is to justify to
students how their competency was assessed, as well as to identify and reward specific qualities in their
work, to recommend aspects needing improvement, and to guide students on what steps to take.
Feedback defines for students what their trainer/assessor think is important for the student to know with
regards to a topic or a subject. At its best, feedback should:
• Be provided for each Assessment Task
• Guide students to adapt and adjust their learning strategies
• Guide trainers/assessors to adapt and adjust their teaching to accommodate the student’s
learning needs
• Be a pivotal feature of learning and assessment design, not an add-on ritual
• Focus on course and unit learning outcomes
• Guide students to become independent and self-reflective learners and their own critics
• Acknowledge the developmental nature of learning
Feedback should not provide short/one-word comments, such as “Fantastic” or “Great work!”. Feedback
needs to be:
• Constructive - highlighting the strengths and weaknesses of a given piece of work, it should set
out ways in which the student can improve the work.
• Timely – should be given while the assessed work is still fresh in a student's mind before the
student moves on to subsequent tasks.
• Meaningful- should target individual needs, be linked to specific assessment criteria, and be
received by a student in time to benefit subsequent work.
If students have not received proper feedback, they can speak to the Compliance or Administration
Department responsible for looking after the quality and compliance services of the Training
Organization
For more information, please refer to the Training Organization’s Student Handbook.

Assessor Pack
Assessment 1 - Knowledge Test
Q-1 Which legislation / Standard is required to Prepare Detailed Design of Urban Roads?
A-1 - The detailed design of the urban roads will be prepared through the process of translating the road
network into a set of plans, specifications and related documents (such as traffic data) which are
required by the respective department for construction.
1. The detailed design should be prepared in accordance with the relevant legislation and standards.
2. It should be developed based on approved policies and guidelines.
3. It should be prepared as per IS 12522004 & ISO/IEC Guide 73:2005.
Q-2 What is the procedure to Prepare Detailed Design of Urban Roads?
A-2 Urban roads are designed for various purposes. These include pedestrian and vehicular traffic,
drainage, and firefighting. The design of an urban road depends on the nature of the road, its
purpose and its environment. Urban roads are constructed under the guidance of traffic engineers
who ensure that the design is appropriate for the safety and convenience of users. Urban roads are
designed to carry heavy loads and provide adequate clearance for vehicles. Urban Roads are
designed according to the legislation / standard(s) applicable in their area.
Q-3 What documentations are required for designing of Roads?
A-3 Urban roads are designed for a specific purpose, which can vary from one city to another. Urban
roads are typically built in urban areas, such as cities and towns. The term "urban" refers to the fact
that these roads are located in towns and cities. Urban roads are not only used by vehicles but also
pedestrians, cyclists, and other road users. These road users may be traveling at different speeds and
they may also be using different types of vehicles (e.g., cars vs. trucks). In order to prepare detailed
design of urban roads, it is necessary to follow certain procedures:
1) Preparation of plans: In this step, it is important to prepare detailed design drawings of
urban roads based on the specifications provided by clients or government agencies.
2) Construction: Construction works for these roads include demolition and
reconstruction of existing structures and foundations as well as installation of subbase
under asphalt pavement layers and concrete pavement layers.
Q-4 What are the most commonly used industry materials for construction of roads?
A-4 The most commonly used industry materials for construction of roads include asphalt concrete,
bituminous concrete, andaggregate concrete. The most commonly used materials for construction
of roads are asphalt, concrete, and gravel.
The components of an urban carriageway include the surface layer (also called "base"), subgrade,
friction course, surface drainage layer, and surfacing. The surface layer is the topmost layer that is
Assessor Pack
laid down on any road surface. It consists of aggregate particles bonded together with a binder
(such as bitumen), which creates a strong but flexible surface that can handle heavy traffic loads
without cracking. The subgrade is the underlying layer on which all other layers are laid down. It
provides roadbed support for the pavement and drainage inlets for rainwater runoff. The friction
course provides traction at intersections to help prevent accidents from occurring due to slippery
conditions or excessive wear from heavy vehicles. The surface drainage layer allows water to drain
away so it does not accumulate under the pavement or cause potholes in roadways after heavy rains
or snowfall (which could damage vehicle).
Q-5 Name and explain different types of road networks. (Any Two)
A-5
A. Grid Road Networks: A grid road network is one in which a series of roads are arranged in a
grid-like pattern. Grid road networks are roads that are laid out in a grid, like a checkerboard. The
roads are arranged in a series of squares that are all the same size. The roads intersect at right
angles, and they are all the same distance apart. Grid road networks are found in many cities and
towns around the world. They are simple to build and easy to maintain. They are also very efficient,
because they allow vehicles to move in straight lines and make turns easily. There are some
drawbacks to grid road networks. They can be boring to look at, and they can be difficult to
navigate if you are not familiar with the area.
B. Hierarchical Road Networks: A hierarchical road network is one in which a series of roads are
arranged in a hierarchy, with the higher-level roads providing access to the lower-level roads.
Highway systems are a great example of Hierarchical Roads Networks. Hierarchical road networks
are typically found in large cities and are composed of a series of interconnected roadways that are
organized into a hierarchical structure. The hierarchical road network is designed to provide
efficient and effective transportation within the city.
Q-6 List the components and their general sizes of an urban carriageway.
A-6
A typical urban carriageway generally consists of the following components:
1. Pavement - this is the main driving surface of the carriageway and is typically made from asphalt
or concrete. Pavements are generally around 3-4m wide.
2. Shoulders - these are the areas at the sides of the carriageway and are typically around 0.5-1m
wide. They provide a safe area for vehicles to stop in case of an emergency.
3. Kerbs - these are the raised edges at the sides of the carriageway and help to define the edge of
the pavement. Kerbs are typically around 0.5m wide.
4. Footways - these are the areas at the sides of the carriageway that are designated for pedestrians.
Footways are typically around 1-2m wide.

Assessor Pack
5. Cycle lanes - these are the lanes at the side of the carriageway that are designated for cyclists.
Cycle lanes are typically around 1-2m wide.
Q-7 List down the machinery and equipment requirement for construction of roads.
A-7 1. Bulldozers
2. Excavators
3. Road rollers
4. Stone crushers
5. Asphalt mixers
6. Pavers
7. Road sweepers
8. Dump trucks
9. Tractors
Q-8 Briefly explain flow rate, density, areas, volumes, and mass.
A-8
Flow rate is a measure of the volume of fluid that flows past a given point in a given period of time.
It is usually expressed in liters per second (L/s).
Density is a measure of the mass of a substance per unit volume. It is usually expressed in grams
per cubic centimeter (g/cm3).
Area is a measure of the size of a two-dimensional surface. It is usually expressed in square

centimeters (cm2).
Volume is a measure of the size of a three-dimensional object. It is usually expressed in cubic

centimeters (cm3).
Mass is a measure of the amount of matter in an object. It is usually expressed in grams (g).
Q-9 What is the difference between verification and validation of a design?
A-9
The difference between verification and validation of a design is that verification is the process of
checking the design against the requirements to ensure that the design meets the requirements,
while validation is the process of checking the design against the actual product to ensure that the
design meets the actual product. Validation of a design is the process of checking whether the
design meets the requirements. Verification of a design is the process of checking whether the
design is correct.
Q-10 What are the techniques for identifying and evaluating design options for Urban Roads?
A-10

Assessor Pack
There are many techniques that can be used to identify and evaluate design options for urban roads.

4. Utilizing GIS technology to identify potential road alignment options.
5. Conducting a cost-benefit analysis of different design options.
6. Selecting a design option that meets the needs of the community while also being feasible from a
financial and engineering perspective.
Q-11 What is the process for evaluating potential site hazards, risk assessment and management?
A-11 The first step is to identify potential hazards at the site. Once hazards have been identified, a risk
assessment can be conducted to determine the likelihood and severity of harm that could occur if
the hazard was to materialize. Finally, risk management strategies can be implemented to reduce
the likelihood and/or severity of harm associated with the hazard.
Q-12 What is the process for design approval?
A-12 The process for design approval of urban roads typically includes a review by the city or county
planning commission, followed by approval by the city or county council. The process for design
approval of urban roads typically includes a review by the city or county engineer, followed by
approval from the city or county planning commission.

A-17
The principles of road user behavior of rural roads are: • Drivers should be aware of their
surroundings and know the conditions of the road. • Drivers should be cautious when driving on
rural roads. • Drivers should obey the posted speed limit and drive at a safe speed. • Drivers should
be aware of animals on the road and yield the right-of-way to them. • Drivers should be prepared
for unexpected hazards, such as oncoming traffic, pedestrians, and cyclists.
Q-18 Briefly explain the following for urban roads:

- Capacity Requirements.
- Geometric Requirements.
- Surfacing Requirements.
A-18 1. Capacity Requirements: The capacity requirements for urban roads are determined by the amount
of traffic that is anticipated to use the road. The capacity requirements will dictate the number of
lanes that are needed as well as the width of the lanes.
2. Geometric Requirements: The geometric requirements for urban roads are dictated by the amount
of traffic that is anticipated to use the road. The geometric requirements will dictate the number of
lanes that are needed as well as the width of the lanes. The geometry of the road will also dictate the
vertical and horizontal alignment of the road.
3. Surfacing Requirements: The surfacing requirements for urban roads are dictated by the amount
of traffic that is anticipated to use the road. The surfacing requirements will dictate the type of
pavement that is needed as well as the thickness of the pavement.
