Klappentext zu „Highway Engineering “
Highway Engineering provides an introduction to highway engineering for students on degree and diploma courses in civil engineering. The text sets out procedures and techniques needed for the planning, design and construction of a highway installation, while setting them in their economic and political context. Moving in a logical sequence through every aspect of highway construction, this second edition features an expanded section on the basic concepts of traffic analysis and management with worked examples, as well as detailing the development planning process and how highway engineers interact with this.Other texts have tended to concentrate purely on highway planning and analysis, or on pavement design and maintenance aspects of highway engineering. As a result, the standard has tended to be too advanced for students studying the subject for the first time. This textbook covers the basic ground in both areas, featuring worked examples and case studies as an aid to understanding individual topics.
The front cover picture and figures on pages 13, 67, 68, 69, 115, 156, 327 and 330 are courtesy of National Roads Authority (NRA).

This book introduces the civil engineering student at both professional and technician level to the subject of highway engineering. It covers topics ranging from the initial planning and economic appraisal of a scheme, and the assessing of its physical extent based on the predicted flows, to the design of its pavement and subsequent maintenance and repair. It features worked examples and case studies as an aid to understanding individual topics.
The aim is to give the student a solid, practically based foundation on the topic of highway and engineering, as well as gateway into the more advanced texts on the subject.
This second edition has been updated to include two additional related areas, traffic calming and road safety auditing. In addition, revisions have been made to cover speed measurement and non-linear speed-density relationships, and new photographs have been added.

Autoren-Porträt von Martin Rogers
Martin Rogers, BE, MEngSc, PhD, BA(Public Ad), CEng, MICE, MRTPI, Chartered Engineer and Chartered Town Planner, received his professional education at University College Dublin and the Institute of Public Administration, Dublin. He has worked in private practice and as a senior local authority engineer and was a member of the Dublin Transport Initiative Study Team that devised the current transportation plan for the Dublin city region.He joined the permanent staff at the Dublin Institute of Technology in 1993 and is currently a Senior Lecturer in the Department of Civil and Structural Engineering. He has previously co-written one postgraduate and one undergraduate text on project appraisal methods and has published technical papers in a number of internationally recognised engineering, construction, planning and operational research journals.
