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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45648260923445,"sku":"ByrdShop_0495082503","price":111.66,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780495082507.jpg?v=1781714377","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/traffic-highway-engineering-4th-edition-9780495082507","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
