Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments: This unique book presents comprehensive and in-depth coverage of traffic engineering. KEY TOPICS It discusses all modern topics in traffic engineering, including design, construction, operation, maintenance, and system. For anyone involved in traffic studies, engineering, analysis, and control and operations. Book News Annotation:Broad, detailed coverage includes traffic studies and
characteristics, highway capacity and level of service analysis, and
the control, operation, and management of traffic facilities.
Reflecting developments since 1990, the second edition addresses
topics such as intelligent transportation systems (ITS) technologies;
developments in automated data collection/analysis; and updated
standards and criteria from the latest editions of the AASHTO Green
Book, MUTCD, ITE manuals. New chapters on simple signal timing and
traffic simulation have been added.
Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com) Synopsis:This unique book provides comprehensive and in-depth coverage of traffic engineering. It reflects all the skills necessary for success; including design, construction, operation, maintenance, and system optimization. Using a clear and logical structure, the book demonstrates both the theory and methodology behind all standard traffic engineering approaches. It also includes examples to illustrate the procedures as they are used in practice. The second edition of "Traffic Engineering has been revised to include a new chapter on the statistical analysis of data. It also includes the latest practices and procedures; new material on underlying models; a new procedure for initial signal timing; as well as an expanded presentation of signalization and signal analysis. An essential reference book for practicing traffic engineers. Table of Contents1. Introduction to Traffic Engineering and Its Scope.
