Why learn about the category of road safety and signage projects?
Greetings, designers!
According to data from CNT (National Transport Confederation) only about 12% of the Brazilian road network is paved, still with the majority being single track (92%).
If the numbers alone don't scare you: More than 60% of goods and more than 90% of passengers depend on road transport, which faces serious problems with the low quality of infrastructure in Brazil.
As if the operational problems that this brings us were not enough, Brazil occupies the shameful position of 4th country in the world with the highest number of traffic deaths. Each year, there are approximately 33,000 deaths and 400,000 injuries…
On the other hand, several studies indicate that Not only paving roads, but efficient signage is the best cost-benefit for reducing traffic accidents.. Therefore, it doesn't take much thought to conclude that the Brazil needs (and badly needs) qualified projects and professionals in this area to solve the problem.
Road signs are a major pillar of infrastructure. With the economic recovery and the specific focus on the aforementioned problem, a great demand for professionals in this area is inevitable.
Without a doubt, an excellent opportunity to learn, right?!
Who is the course for?
Understanding the importance of road signs is a topic for everyone! However, our course is focused on train professionals to develop projects of signage and road safety.
Our target audience is engineers, architects, technicians and designers who want to learn from scratch about the area of road signage and safety, or who already work in this area and want to improve their knowledge.
It is essential that the student has prior knowledge of CAD platform. (Autocad, ZWcad, and/or similar). Technical topics on its use will not be covered, we will go straight to the point and from module 1, we will cover essential subjects for training designers in signage and road safety projects.
What will I learn?
The road signage course at SEABRA It is very complete and without “blah blah blah”. Made by a designer for designers, our aim is to make you stand out in the market. deliver your projects up to 7 times faster than other designers. Wondering how we will do this? It's simple!
Our course has an incredible difference: The classes will be taught with the help of a plug-in for AutoCAD and Civil 3D specifically for signage and road safety projects, sinC!
In addition to instructions on how to use the plugin, we will cover topics such as:
- Principles of road signage and existing types (Vertical, horizontal, traffic lights and safety devices);
- Special signs (Indicative, Tourist) and their layout rules;
- Special signaling topics: Intersections, Channels and Zebras, Cloverleafs, Accesses, Bifurcations, etc.
- Calculation of quantities and service notes;
- The use of Civil 3D (BIM) aimed at road signage projects;
- Understanding Brazil's main project delivery standards (DNIT, DER);
- Between others…
At the end of the course a certificate will be issued with the student's name, as well as the curriculum of the topics covered as a way of attesting that the student is able to develop projects in this category.
When does it start? How do I sign up?
One of the main advantages of this course is that it is 100% online, which gives students the ease of being able to study whenever and wherever they want. In addition, all classes become their own and can be revisited whenever the student deems necessary. Our professional will be available to answer questions via online classroom, email, or WhatsApp for all enrolled students.
Finally…
In recent years, the supply of engineers in the market has increased significantly. However, few are looking into this area. Our course ensures that the professional learns from scratch or improves their knowledge using specific software for signage which considerably increase the designer's productivity.
By the end of our road signage course, you will impress your clients by executing the projects up to 7 times faster using specific tools that are still unexplored in the market.
See you there 🙂
