Synopsis Organized in four main sections: Design and Operation (includes basic engineering principles, geometric design, human factors and traffic engineering); Systems (includes transportation modes, urban transportation, intelligent transportation systems (ITS), transportation planning and forecasting); Impacts (includes traffic impact studies, noise and pollution, and evaluation of transportation alternatives); and Supporting Elements (such as economics, statistics, probability queuing and software for traffic simulation and transportation analysis). Updated coverage on Transportation Modes and Urban Systems - With extensive coverage of Intelligent Transportation Systems and the Quantification of Congestion. This detailed, interdisciplinary introduction to transportation engineering serves as a comprehensive text as well as a frequently cited reference.
