Description
This text covers the essentials of transportation engineering, planning and management using an interdisciplinary approach. It includes a wide spectrum of topics, encompassing both traditional principles - traffic engineering, transportation planning - and non-traditional considerations - transportation economics, land use, energy, public transport, and transportation systems management. Both quantitative and policy-oriented topics are incorporated, each supported by numerous worked examples and problems of varying complexity. This edition: reflects recent information and techniques drawn from publications by the Transportation Research Board's Highway Capacity Manual; references the latest computer programs in the public and private sectors; updates coverage of geometric design to reflect recent revisions of AASHTO's Geometric Design; and expands coverage of transportation economics, traffic flow and transportation systems management.
Table of Contents
- Transportation as a system
- transportation economics
- the land use/transportation system
- vehicle and human characteristics
- traffic flow characteristics
- geometric design of highways
- highway capacity
- intersection control and design
- at-grade intersection capacity and level of service
- public passenger transportation
- urban transportation planning
- local area traffic management
- energy issues connected with transportation
- TSM planning - framework
- evaluation of transportation improvement
- transportation safety. Appendices: Engineering Economics
- statistics and probability
- computer programme details.

Description
Covering the essentials of transportation engineering, planning and management with an interdisciplinary approach, this book includes a wide range of topics. It encompasses traditional principles, such as traffic engineering and transportation planning, and non-traditional considerations, including tansportation economics, land use, energy, public transport, and transportation systems management. These are supported by case studies and problems encountered. This new edition contains references to computer programs in the public and private sectors, and updates coverage of geometic design to reflect the revisions of AASHTO's Geometic Design.
