This book provides a good introduction to the subject of transport engineering. Separate sections are provided on: a) transportation modes; b) urban transportation; and c) traffic impact and transport studies. Transportation planning and traffic simulation software packages are also covered. These include demand forecasting models. Separate sections are also provided on: a) vehicle flow models; b) capacity analysis; c) flow interruptions at intersections; d) the evaluation of air, noise and energy impacts of transport. New sections have been included on highway geometry and pavement design. Regression modelling, and methods for hypothesis and model testing are discussed in Appendix C. Guidelines for the preparation of environmental assessment documents are given in Appendix A. Elements of engineering economy are presented in Appendix B.
