交通工程学是典型的新兴交叉学科,交通工程作为**的“生命血液循环系统”涵盖了广泛的工程应用领域。本书是美国英文原版教材,由 Pearson Education公司2004年出版第3版。原版教材共27章,除第1章交通工程概述外分为4个部分:交通系统组成及其特性、交通研究及要点、高速公路和乡村公路系统的应用、城市道路系统的应用。考虑到中国的实际隋况,我们将第1章及前两部分作为基础分册,而后两部分作为应用分册,两分册分别出版,而且征得原版作者和出版公司的同意,在部分章后补充了相应的中国交通现状及发展。这两个分册均可作为高等学校交通类专业的教材,也可供交通运输工程领域的研究人员及工程技术人员学习参考。
本书为应用分册,内容包括高速公路和多车道公路的通行能力与服务水平分析、高速公路及多车道公路的交织及分流合流、双向双车道乡村公路、高速公路及乡村公路的信号标志;交叉口控制概述、交叉口信号控制基本原理、信号配时与设计基础、交叉口设计元素及方案、实际信号控制和检测、信号控制交叉口分析、信号控制交叉口分析的应用、无信号控制交叉口分析、干线及网络的信号协调、干线性能分析、干线规划与设计、城市道路网络交
