About this title

Synopsis

The book provides a comprehensive overview of the up-to-date, practical knowledge in highway engineering. It highlights the latest industry standards and policies, such as the best-value award algorithms in the selection of design-builders, the urban logistics guidelines for the efficiency of goods distribution, and the adoption of a uniform increased service load based on vehicle characteristics. The book explores also recent design and construction methods, such as building information modeling, the use of 3D printing, the performance evaluation of road pavements, and the risk matrices as environmental management tools. The latest techniques for traffic evaluation and road safety are also presented, such as the evaluation of loopholes, the optimization of fast lanes and lane-keeping systems, and the use of machine learning algorithms. This book helps readers maximize the effectiveness of different aspects of highway engineering. This professional book as a credible source and a valuable reference can be very applicable and useful for all professors, researchers, engineers, practicing professionals, trainee practitioners, students, and others interested in highway projects.
