Manual of Transportation Engineering Studies

Résumé du livre

The primary focus of the manual is on "how to conduct" transportation engineering studies in the field. Each chapter introduces the type of study and describes the methods of data collection, the types of equipment used, the personnel and level of training needed, the amount of data required, the procedures to follow, and the techniques available to reduce and analyze the data. Applications of the collected data or information are discussed only briefly.
