Summary : Transportation engineering refers to the use of scientific principles and technology to operate, plan, manage and create functional design of facilities for different modes of transportation. It aims to provide comfortable, economical, safe, rapid, convenient, efficient and environment friendly transportation for people and goods. It is involved in the planning, designing, building, maintaining and operating transportation facilities, which facilitate railroad, water, air, pipeline, highway and space transportation. The designing aspects of transportation engineering encompass determining the size of transportation facilities, and identifying the materials and thickness utilized in pavement design of the roadway. The planning aspects in transportation engineering are connected to urban planning and entail technical forecasting decisions as well as political considerations. The technical forecast of passenger travel typically contains an urban transportation planning model, which involves the assessment of mode choice, trip generation, route assignment and trip distribution. This book elucidates the planning and design aspects with respect to transportation engineering. It aims to serve as a resource guide for students and experts alike and contribute to the growth of the discipline.

Summary : Highway Engineering: Planning, Design, and Operations, Second Edition, presents a clear and rigorous exposition of highway engineering concepts, including project development and the relationship between planning, operations, safety and highway types. The book includes important topics such as corridor selection and traverses, horizontal and vertical alignment, design controls, basic roadway design, cross section elements, intersection and interchange design, and the integration of new vehicle technologies and trends. It also presents end of chapter exercises to further aid understanding and learning. This edition has been fully updated with the current design policies and reference manuals essential for highway, transportation, and civil engineers who are required to work to these standards. Provides an updated resource on current design standards from the Highway Capacity Manual and the Green Book Covers fundamental traffic flow relationships and traffic impact analysis, collision analysis, road safety audits and advisory speeds Presents the latest applications and engineering considerations for highway planning, design and construction
