Engineering explained: Intersections
Roads and intersections are an important form of land use and an integral part of the transport network. They aim to provide safe passage for all road users and mitigate congestion issues. Below we will dive into the different types of intersections. Also, we look at how Marvel approaches analysing which type will best meet […]
Road design considerations: Interchanges
We love talking about road geometry, and when you combine that with interchanges and their design, things can get very interesting! Drawing from our extensive experience on projects like Gateway Upgrade North, the M1/M3 Gateway Merge, and the M1 Pacific Motorway Upgrade North, we have gained valuable insights and learnings to share. Intersections vs interchanges […]
Designing for active transport
What do you think of when you hear the term ‘active transport’? No, it’s not just a flashy buzz word, but an integral part of transport infrastructure design, with more focus being placed on this mode of transport than ever before. “Active transport incorporates cycling, walking and other physically active ways of travelling that can […]
Engineering explained: Road geometry
Road geometry objectives What is road geometry? Well, that’s a bit of a loaded question, and an extremely layered topic. We will walk you through how we define road geometry at Marvel Engineers by breaking it down into several key elements. Austroads Guide to Road Design defines Road Design as “the process of selecting and combining appropriate […]
