Transportation Engineering: Theory, Practice and Modeling, Second
Edition presents comprehensive information related to traffic
engineering and control, transportation planning and evaluation of
transportation alternatives. The book systematically deals with almost
the entire transportation engineering area, offering various techniques
related to transportation modeling, transportation planning, and traffic
control. It also shows readers how to use models and methods when
predicting travel and freight transportation demand, how to analyze
existing transportation networks, how to plan for new networks, and how
to develop traffic control tactics and strategies. New topics addressed
include alternative Intersections, alternative interchanges and
individual/private transportation.
Readers will also learn how to utilize a range of engineering concepts
and methods to make future transportation systems safer, more
cost-effective, and "greener". Providing a broad view of transportation
engineering, including transport infrastructure, control methods and
analysis techniques, this new edition is for postgraduates in
transportation and professionals needing to keep up-to-date with the
latest theories and models.
