This new edition of the Traffic Engineering Handbook provides a current, updated source of information for people entering the practice and for those already practising. While not written as a textbook, the education community uses this publication as a reference for state-of-the-art of established traffic engineering practice. It is one of the primary reference sources for study to become certified as a Professional Traffic Operations Engineer. It provides a convenient desk reference, all in one source, of the principles and proven techniques in traffic engineering. Where appropriate, reference is made to significant traffic engineering practice outside North America. Each chapter was written by notable and experienced authors, and reviewed and edited by a distinguished panel of traffic engineering experts. Updated chapters include Introduction to Traffic Engineering; Road Users; Vehicles; Traffic and Flow Characteristics; Community Safety; Traffic Regulation and Control; Geometric Design of Highways; Traffic Signs and Markings; Traffic Control Signals; Parking and Terminals; Traffic Management; and Intelligent Transportation Systems. Four new chapters have been added from the previous edition that address Statistics for Engineers; Public Involvement; Traffic Calming; and Access Management. (Author/publisher)
