Traffic, highway, and transportation design principles and practical applicationsThis 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
