Book Description

The fifth edition of the best-selling textbook Principles of Highway Engineering and Traffic Analysis (PDF) offers the breadth of coverage that is required to solve the highway-related problems that are most likely to be encountered in engineering practice. This edition of the textbook was released in 2013. The emphasis placed on highway transportation is warranted when taking into account the preponderance of the highway mode in the United States as well as the employment opportunities that are now available. It is possible for teachers to feel confident that the students in their classes are learning the fundamentals required to pursue higher-level transportation courses; entering the transportation workforce with a basic knowledge of traffic and highway engineering; and responding appropriately to transportation-related questions on the Fundamentals of Civil Engineering and Professional Engineering exams. The most recent new 5th edition is updated with the most recent Highway Capacity Manual and AASHTO Green book; new real homework problems; and the textbook has been enhanced pedagogically and streamlined with descriptive example names and homework problems organized by textbook section. In addition, new real homework problems have been added.
