Principles of Highway Engineering and Traffic Analysis 5th Edition, by Fred L. Mannering and Scott S. Washburn presents concise strategy that covers all the required basic concepts. New features in this edition embrace updates and extra consistency with the most recent edition of the Highway Capability Handbook (HCM); the inclusion of sample FE exam questions, call-out of frequent mistakes; and added coverage on a qualitative description of the mechanistic approach.
This book provides the depth of coverage mandatory to resolve the highway-associated problems which might be most probably to be encountered in engineering practice. Instructors may be confident their college students are learning the fundamentals wanted to undertake upper-degree transportation courses, enter transportation employment with a basic data of highway and traffic engineering, and answer transportation-related questions on the Fundamentals of Civil Engineering and Professional Engineering exams.
The new edition is updated with the most recent Highway Capacity Manual and AASHTO Green book, new homework problems, and the text has been streamlined and enhanced pedagogically with descriptive example names and homework problems organized by text section. New example problems have been added to improve the pedagogical effectiveness of the book.
End-of-chapter problems are organized by text section, and new problems were added for each chapter. The third and fourth editions of the book included both U.S. customary and metric units. To keep students focused on the standard measurement system used across the world, this new SI version includes only SI (metric) units.
Content with metric units is available on the book website. Chapter 3 has been revised to include the latest information from the recently published A Policy on Geometric Design of Highways and Streets, American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials, Washington, DC, 2011. Chapter 4 has been substantially revised to be more tightly focused with new examples and revised sections.
In addition to traditional pavement design procedures, Chapter 4 now provides an introduction to the newer mechanistic-empirical pavement design procedures. Chapter 6 has been revised to include the latest information from the recently published Highway Capacity Manual 2010, Transportation Research Board, National Academy of Sciences, Washington, D.C.
