Description
Traffic, highway, and transportation design principles and practical applications
This comprehensive textbook clearly explains the many aspects of transportation systems planning, design, operation, and maintenance. Transportation Engineering: A Practical Approach to Highway Design, Traffic Analysis, and Systems Operations explores key topics, including geometric design for roadway alignment; traffic demand, flow, and control; and highway and intersection capacity. Emerging issues such as livable streets, automated vehicles, and smart cities are also discussed. You will get real-world case studies that highlight practical applications as well as valuable diagrams and tables that define transportation engineering terms and acronyms.
Coverage includes:
- An introduction to transportation engineering
- Geometric design
- Traffic flow theory
- Traffic control
- Capacity and level of service
- Highway safety
- Transportation demand
- Transportation systems management and operations
- Emerging topics
