Basics of Transportation Engineering: An Overview of Railway and Airport Engineering is a handbook for integrating different transport systems and evaluating their prospective impact on the environment and society. Rigorous and clear in its coverage, the book begins with illustration of principles associated to transport engineering, traffic engineering and transportation planning. This book is divided into three parts. There are eight chapters in the book. First two chapters focus on fundamentals and general principles of transportation engineering. Next three chapters focus on Railway engineering while the last three chapters of the book focus on airport engineering. Railway transport is the backbone of transportation systems. A country cannot develop its infrastructure without upgrading its railway transportation. Presently, most of the developed countries have developed updated railway transportation systems. On the other hand, airport transportation and airport engineering are key areas of modern infrastructure developments. This book provides essential information related to transportation engineering, traffic engineering, railway transport, railway engineering, airport transportation and airport engineering.
