This detailed introduction to transportation engineering is designed to serve as a comprehensive text for undergraduate and first-year master's students in civil engineering. To keep the treatment focused, the emphasis is on roadway (highway) based transportation systems, from an Indian perspective. Coverage includes analysis of those characteristics of vehicles and drivers which affect traffic and the design of traffic facilities; the principles of road geometry design and how to lay a road; characterization and analysis of flows on highways, unsignalized intersections, and signalized intersection; the design principles of traffic facilities; modern problems of mobility, access, and congestion in transit systems; the engineering characteristics of pavement materials; the structural analysis and design of highway pavements; maintenance strategies for highways; and highway economics. The book includes many figures, worked-out examples, and exercises that highlight practical engineering design considerations. No library descriptions found. |
