Transportation Engineering

Human factors and ergonomics have made considerable contributions to the research, design, development, operation and analysis of transportation systems and their complementary infrastructure. This volume focuses on the causations of road accidents, the function and design of roads and signs, the de..

Presenting a comprehensive coverage, Air Transport System Analysis and Modelling is a unique text dealing with the analysis and modelling of the processes and operations carried out in all three parts of the air transport system, namely, airports, air traffic control and airlines. Seen from a planne..

Load and thermal stress analyses for both asphalt and concrete pavement structures are dealt with in this book. Basic formulations for pavement analyses have been compiled and presented in a step-by-step manner—from a simple formulation to a more complex one, maintaining uniformity in symbol and sig..

The book explodes the myths that currently drive society’s view of traffic safety and limit progress in reducing death and serious injury. It presents current scientific knowledge in a non-technical way and draws parallels with other areas of public safety and public health. It uses examples from th..

This book provides a general and broad coverage of concepts, models, and solution methodologies available for freight transportation. It includes preliminaries, such as mathematical modeling and simulation, but does not require prior knowledge of these techniques. Case studies or practical examples ..

Fundamentals of Rail Vehicle Dynamics lays a foundation for the design of rail vehicles based on the mechanics of wheel-rail interaction as described by the equations of motion. The author advances simple models to elucidate particular challenges and demonstrate innovative systems while using analyt..

Geometric design covers the design of the visible elements of the road. This book provides background material for the designer including statistics, traffic flow theory, economic and utility analysis, systems analysis, hydraulics and drainage, capacity analysis, coordinate calculation, environmenta..

Traffic injuries are the leading cause of death globally among 15 to 19 year-olds. However, individuals charged with trying to solve the complex problem of teen and novice drivers are typically not in positions where they can spend the hundreds of hours gathering the information they need in order t..
