Traffic & Highway Engineering, 4th Edition by Nicholas J. Garber and Lester A. Hoel
Product Description
The new edition of Garber and Hoel's best-selling text focuses on giving
students insight into all facets of traffic and highway engineering.
Students generally come to this course with little knowledge or
understanding of the importance of transportation, much less of the
extensive career opportunities within the field. Transportation is an
extremely broad field, and courses must either cover all transportation
modes or focus on specifics. While many topics can be covered with a
survey approach, this often lacks sufficient depth and students leave
the course without a full understanding of any of the fields. This text
focuses exclusively on traffic and highway engineering beginning with a
discussion of the pivotal role transportation plays in our society,
including employment
opportunities, historical impact, and the impact of transportation on
our daily lives. This approach gives students a sense of what the field
is about as well as an opportunity to consider some of its challenges.
Later chapters focus on specific issues facing transportation engineers.
The text uses pedagogical tools such as worked problems, diagrams and
tables, reference material, and realistic examples to demonstrate how
the material is applied.
