Pearson brings to you the third edition of Transportation Engineering, which offers students and practitioners a detailed, current, and interdisciplinary introduction to transportation engineering and planning. This much praised and widely recommended text has been revered for its wide spectrum coverage encompassing both traditional principles—traffic engineering, transportation planning and non-traditional considerations transportation economics, land use, energy, public transport, transportation systems management.\n\nFeatures:\n\n• The text is built on ideas, concepts, and observations that students are likely to be most familiar\nwith, e.g., roads, streets, highways, buses, bicyclists, pedestrians and so on.\n• Organization of the book and individual chapters has been carefully planned for easy transition\nfrom one to another.\n• Quantitative and policy-oriented topics are incorporated, each supported by numerous worked\nexamples and problems of varying complexity.\n• Appendix on Statistics for Transportation Engineers provided for easy reference.\n• Examples and exercises that illustrate real-world problems and require creativity and critical\nthinking.\n\nContents:\n1.
