Principles Of Transportation Engineering

This book is designed to serve as a comprehensive text for undergraduate as well as first-year master’s students of civil engineering in India. Now, in the second edition, the book incorporates a thorough revision and extension of topics covered in the previous edition. In order to keep the treatment focused, the emphasis is on roadways (highways) based transportation systems.

1. Analysis of characteristics of vehicles and drivers that affect traffic and design of traffic facilities.

2. Principles of road geometry design and how to lay a road.

3. Characterization and analysis of flows on highways, unsignalized and signalized intersections, toll plazas, etc.

4. Design principles for traffic facilities.

5. Engineering characteristics of pavement materials.

6. Structural analysis and design of highway pavements.

7. Principles of pavement design with special reference to the Indian conditions.

8. Evaluation and maintenance of highways.
