This book helps readers maximize effectiveness in all facets of highway
engineering including planning, design, operations, safety, and
geotechnical engineering. Highway Engineering: Planning, Design, and Operations features
a seven part treatment, beginning with a clear and rigorous exposition
of highway engineering concepts. These include project development, and
the relationship between planning, operations, safety, and highway
types (functional classification). Planning concepts and a four-step
process overview are covered, along with trip generation, equations
versus rates, trip distribution, and shortest path models equations
versus rates. This is followed by parts concerning applications for
horizontal and vertical alignment, highway geometric design, traffic
operations, traffic safety, and civil engineering topics. *** Covers traffic flow relationships and traffic impact analysis, collision analysis, road safety audits, advisory speeds * Applications
for horizontal and vertical alignment, highway geometric design,
traffic operations, traffic safety, civil engineering topics * Engineering
considerations for highway planning design and construction are
included, such as hydraulics, geotechnical engineering, and structural
engineering.
