Transportation Engineering is related to design and analysis of Highways,
Railways, Airports, Urban and Suburban Road Networks, Parking Lots, and
Traffic Control Signal Systems.
Highway is defined as the main road intended for travel by
the public between important cities and towns. The
Pan-American Highway is the longest international highway which
connects many countries. It is nearly 48,000 kilometers long.
Whereas the Katy Freeway in Houston, Texas, USA, is the widest
highway having a total of 26 lanes in some sections. Railway
is an energy-efficient means of transport which runs on permanent
way consisting of two parallel rails made of steel and fastened
to sleepers or ties which rest on ballast or secured to solid
foundation. Rail transport is a major form of public transport in
many countries.
Good knowledge of construction
materials,
geotechnics and
equipments is also required by a transportation engineer. The web links on this page will lead you to lecture notes from
distinguished faculties, authentic products and service providers in
the areas of transportation engineering around the world. |
