Calculus Application for Highway Design – Determining the High/Low Point of a Roadway
| Content Provider | WatchKnowLearn |
|---|---|
| Description | The instructor introduces the use of basic calculus to determine the high or low point of the vertical component of a roadway design. This application provides a practical use of derivatives that are critical in highway design when locating a roadway over or under features (such as pipelines or bridges). This application can be replicated by a teacher with local information (using commonly available online mapping tools, such as Google Earth) to aid in the understanding of the topic. The instructor, Daniel Findley, is a licensed Professional Engineer, focused on Transportation Engineering. He has a PhD in Civil Engineering from NC State University and is a Senior Research Associate at the Institute for Transportation Research and Education and is an Adjunct Assistant Professor in the Department of Civil Construction and Environmental Engineering at NC State. |
