This book provides an overall perspective of how various elements
contributing to highway design interact to create a basis for the
preliminary route selection and design. It presents projects from
the initial provision of a topographic map and specifications
through to the investment and user cost estimates of a particular
highway. Vertical and horizontal alignment, drainage issues, and
potential environmental impacts are also discussed. Intended for
use by senior undergraduate and graduate students, this edition:
expands on environmental reporting concerns; presents a discussion
of economic cost analysis and its applications; includes an outline
of route selection and design methods aided by digital terrain and
computerized alignment modeling; and furthers realism of design and
evaluation in the classroom. ""Geometric Design Projects for
Highways, Second Edition"", is structured to complement highway
design theory described in existing texts and design guidelines,
and to supplement these in a typical highway design course. This
book can also serve as a supplementary text for an introductory
short-course on geometric design for practicing engineers, and is a
practical resource for transportation and land-use planners.
