Students generally come to this course with little knowledge or understanding of the importance of transportation  much less of the extensive career opportunities in 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. Garber and Hoels text focuses exclusively on traffic and highway engineering. They begin 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 and an opportunity to consider some of its challenges. Later chapters focus on specific issues facing transportation engineers. Using a pedagogical tools such as worked problems  diagrams and tables  reference material  and realistic examples demonstrate how the material is applied. The new edition has been updated to reflect recent changes in guidelines set forth by HCM 2000 and AASHTO. Professional engineers have also found this material helpful  making it a great reference for practicing engineers in the field.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45651716636725,"sku":"ByrdShop_0534387438","price":134.93,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780534387433.jpg?v=1781838175","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/traffic-and-highway-engineering-9780534387433","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
