Transportation Engineering: A Practical Approach to Highway Design, Traffic Analysis, and Systems Operation

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.
