This assessment task allows the students to demonstrate their understanding of various concepts and theories delivered in this unit for the traffic engineering and traffic studies analysis. In this assignment, students are required to organise and conduct a traffic survey.

All students are required to submit their reports individually for this assessment. The report template and detailed requirements will be available on Moodle under the Assessment tile in week 1.

This assessment will be assessed for the:

• Accuracy of the Input parameter for each computation step with an appropriate unit;
• Application of accurate methodology with appropriate referencing. Full mark will only be awarded for error-free computational steps with proper explanation to be understood by an independent person;
• Accuracy of the answer with the appropriate unit;
• If answers to any preceding steps are inaccurate. A partial mark is awarded for subsequent answers;
• Reference to proper standards and guidelines;
• Correct application of mathematics and arithmetic;
• Clearly identified answers; and
• Correct results.

In addition, the assessment as a whole will be assessed against the following criteria:

• Evidence of correct procedures;
• All necessary steps in the analysis are present in the correct order;
• A clear presentation of the mathematical and arithmetical working linking is given;
• Details of the problem with the results are obtained; and
• Evidence of checking results (mathematical, graphical, logical common sense) are presented;
• Evidence of an understanding of the topic:

1. Explanation of choices made in the analysis (why is the procedure required, why this particular procedure); and
2. Interpretation of results
3. Professional presentation

• Professional presentation

1. Clear presentation of problem, data, analysis
2. A clear statement of each problem and its details and requirements
3. The logical layout of analysis
4. Appropriate use of diagrams
5. Correct use of terminology and conventions
6. Clear English in the explanation of procedure and interpretation of results

A similarity check will always be done before marking the submitted assignments for all students. Upon detection of any plagiarism, including i) similarity between submitted reports within the same cohort or ii) with the previous cohorts or iii) submitted works to other institutes or iv) using the material provided by cheating websites will result in failing that assignment without marking, and the student will be reported to the CQU Academic Misconduct team for further actions.

This assessment task consists of three Progressive Tests in the form of online Quizzes. Each test consists of 5 to 7 numerical questions.

Important Notes:

• Each test is set for 60 minutes. You have 60 minutes from when you start your attempt to submit your answers. If you start but leave a test and come back to it later, your 60 min time may have lapsed, and you will be scored zero for that attempt.
• You can attempt the quiz up to 2 times within the given timeframe (generally one week) specified in the schedule. The test will be automatically closed after the end of the given timeframe.
• The final mark will be the highest of all the attempts.
• Even though the tests are open for a few days, it is expected that your first attempt would be on the first day.
• Tests can not be deferred.

This assessment task aims to allow the students to demonstrate their understanding of various concepts and theories delivered in the unit for geometric design and pavement design of roads using Civil3D and CIRCLY, following the Australian standards. All students are required to submit their reports individually for this design assessment. The report template and detailed requirements will be available on Moodle under the Assessment tile in Week 4.
