Rather than addressing the broad expanse of the transportation engineering field, Principles of Highway Engineering and Traffic Analysis, Third Edition focuses primarily on highway and traffic engineering, providing the depth you need to solve real highway-related problems. Taking a concise, accessible, example-oriented approach, the authors bring clarity to the subject matter and present a large number of end-of-chapter problems, allowing you to master the concepts and apply them in professional practice. Updated with the latest standards in highway design and traffic engineering. Clear and direct style of presentation, with significant content and presentation refinements throughout the text. Numerous example and end-of-chapter problems, including a large number of new end-of-chapter problems. Detailed treatment of road vehicle performance--a critical element in understanding the fundamentals underlying highway and traffic engineering. Accessible discussion of the fundamentals of traffic flow and queuing theory. Expanded coverage of signalized intersections, including a balanced presentation on signal control concepts, signal analysis theory, and the practical analysis of signals. U.S. Customary and metric units usedthroughout (U.S. Customary are the primary units). Appendices contain both the example and the end-of-chapter problems with metric units.
