Fundamentals of Transportation Engineering

Fundamentals of Transportation Engineering: A Multimodal Systems Approach book written by Jon D. Fricker provides  integrated topics in introduction of transportation engineering. In fact, to analyze and design such transportation and traffic system, there are various components to learn such as geometric design, pavement design, moving flow and highway system.

Therefore, as recommended reference of first course in Transportation Engineering, Fundamentals of Transportation Engineering book emphasizes standard principles and terminology so you will understand the concepts in transportation including basic techniques and analysis in order to model, plan and design transportation system in engineering practice.

Fundamentals of Transportation Engineering book also provides clearly explanation for every topic discuss with logical scenario to analyze. Therefore, in each chapter, authors include extensive solving and homework problems those combine all aspects and needs in designing both traditional and modern transportation system. So you are able to identify, classify, and record various traffic control devices with certain elements in rural and suburban transportation design.

To get better planning and design, Fundamentals of Transportation Engineering book also includes explanation of computer software application to help you plan and model transportation system with great analysis using intelligent system particularly for designing highway route and traffic forecasting. Of course, social and environmental issues are considered and discusses as factor for evaluation for decision-making.
