DESCRIPTION:
It includes material on the latest standards and criteria of the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (2003 Edition and forthcoming 2010 Edition), the Policy on Geometric Design of Highways and Streets (2004 Edition), the Highway Capacity Manual (2000 Edition and forthcoming 2010 Edition), and other critical references. Traffic Engineering, 4e, is ideal for a one/two-semester undergraduate survey, and/or for graduate courses on Traffic Engineering, Highway Capacity Analysis, and Traffic Control and Operations.This unique text focuses on the key engineering skills required to practice traffic engineering in a modern setting. It also presents both fundamental theory and a broad range of applications to modern problems.
The Dancing Potatoe said Two Stars. Lots of mistakes.. Shines! Rodya I studied this book for my traffic class. I really like the language and the way authors present the challenges in traffic engineering and explain the standard solution approaches. It is unlike most transportation engineering manuals which are written to make you fall asleep (and think traffic engineering is not interesting).UPDATE- Several years later the references used in this book (Highway Capacity Man. "Good but has a ton of issues" according to Matt. I have had this book for about three months now, its been a good book but recently as I have gotten further into it I am finding more and more mistakes in it. I have had problems where i use a table in the book and it says to interpolate and you can't even get the values they get in the example. Overall they need to check the math in the book and update the references they use many of them have been update
