DESCRIPTION

The best-selling Principles of Highway Engineering and Traffic Analysis provides the depth of coverage necessary to solve the

highway-related problems that are most likely to be encountered in engineering practice. Instructors can be confident their students

are learning the fundamentals needed to undertake upper-level transportation courses, enter transportation employment with a basic

knowledge of highway and traffic engineering, and answer transportation-related questions on the Fundamentals of Civil Engineering

and Professional Engineering exams.

The new Fifth Edition is updated with the most recent Highway Capacity Manual and AASHTO Green book, new homework problems,

and the text has been streamlined and enhanced pedagogically with descriptive example names and homework problems organized

by text section.

 NEW TO EDITION
• Updated to be consistent with the Highway Capacity Manual (HCM) 2010 and the AASHTO "Green Book" 2011.

• New example problems have been added to improve the pedagogical effectiveness of the book.

• End-of-chapter problems are organized by text section, and new problems were added for each chapter.

• SI units. The third and fourth editions of the book included both U.S. customary and metric units. To keep students focused on the

standard measurement system used across the world, this new SI version includes only SI (metric) units.

• Content with metric units is available on the book website.

• Revised Chapter 3, Geometric Design of Highways. Chapter 3 has been revised to include the latest information from the recently

published A Policy on Geometric Design of Highways and Streets, American Association of State Highway and Transportation

Officials, Washington, DC, 2011.

• Significantly revised pavement design chapter. Chapter 4 has been substantially revised to be more tightly focused with new

examples and revised sections. Mechanistic-empirical approach to pavement design. In addition to traditional pavement design

procedures, Chapter 4 now provides an introduction to the newer mechanistic-empirical pavement design procedures.

• Revised Chapter 6, Highway Capacity and Level-of-Service Analysis. Chapter 6 has been revised to include the latest information
from the recently published Highway Capacity Manual 2010, Transportation Research Board, National Academy of Sciences,

Washington, D.C.

• Revised Chapter 7, Traffic Control and Analysis at Signalized Intersections. Chapter 7 has been revised to include the latest

information from the recently published Highway Capacity Manual 2010, Transportation Research Board, National Academy of

Sciences, Washington, D.C.

FEATURES

• Complete instructor support including lecture slides, sample exams, in-class design problems, and solutions manual. You will be

ready to teach with the 5th edition from day one of adoption.

• A concise approach focused on highway transportation that helps instructors cover in one semester the concepts that are most

likely to be encountered in engineering practice.

• Example-oriented presentation accessible to both junior and senior engineering students, with appropriate mathematical rigor and

a large number of end-of-chapter problems.

• Sample FE exam questions in the text give students practice with questions for this discipline in a multiple-choice format, as

they'll encounter on the FE exam.

• Variable and nomenclature keys consistently provided with illustrations and gathered at the end of the chapter help students more

quickly become familiar with the nomenclature and notation for the course

• More complete and detailed coverage of road vehicle performance (Ch. 2) than in other texts.

• Integration of vertical and horizontal alignment in Chapter 3.

• Concise presentation of pavement-design principles in Chapter 4.

• Principles of traffic flow and queuing theory (Ch. 5) are made fully accessible to students.

• Balanced coverage of signal control concepts including principles of actuated and coordinated signal systems, signal analysis

theory, and practical analysis of signals (Ch. 7).

• Advanced and traditional four-step travel-demand forecasting processes presented in Chapter 8.
