Roads, Rails, Waterways

In a world where movement is essential, transportation engineering stands as the architect of our connected society. From the intricate network of roads and highways to the sprawling airports and seaports, transportation infrastructure forms the backbone of our modern world. It is through these systems that people, goods, and ideas flow, driving economic growth and social progress.
In this comprehensive guide to transportation engineering, planning, and design, readers will embark on a journey to explore the intricate workings of these vital systems. With a focus on the United States, this book delves into the principles and practices that underpin the planning, design, construction, and operation of transportation facilities.
Written in an engaging and accessible style, this book covers a wide range of topics, including:
* The history of transportation infrastructure and its role in shaping societies
* The planning process for transportation systems, from data collection and analysis to forecasting travel demand and developing transportation plans
* The design of transportation facilities, including highways, bridges, tunnels, airports, and seaports
* The construction and maintenance of transportation infrastructure, with a focus on safety and sustainability
* The environmental impact of transportation and strategies for reducing emissions and promoting sustainability
* The role of transportation in economic development and social equity
* Emerging technologies in transportation, such as autonomous vehicles, high-speed rail, and hyperloop
