Traffic and Highway Engineering: Revised

By Lester A. Hoel and Nicholas J. Garber

Book Overview

This classic reference is the ideal core text for the traffic and highway engineering course taught in civil engineering programs. Garber and Hoel's best-selling transportation reference is newly revised to reflect recent TEA-21 legislation and transportation statistics. Some of the pedagogical elements that have made this book so successful both as a text and a professional reference include: motivating examples in each chapter; a list of references and a comprehensive problem set at the end of each chapter; and a large number of tables and diagrams. Readers can relate directly to the problems of motor vehicle travel, and this book allows them to gain a better understanding of highway transportation in all its dimensions, to experience some of the challenges of the profession, and to learn about professional opportunities.

Customer Reviews

Great, Great Textbook

I purchased this book to review Transportation Engineering for my PE exam. This is a GREAT textbook. It includes an overview of all the important transportation topics in an easy to understand format with illustrative examples. I do warn, however, that there are a few key typos, but overall, this helped me immensely in my preparation for the PE exam.

Great service!

Fantastic service. Book was in the actual condition mentioned on the website and I received it in a timely manner. Highly recommend this seller.

Correction for earlier posted review

My review of "Traffic and Highway Engineering" posted March 31, 2003 was mistakenly attached to this Newer "Revised" Edition of the text. The original review, for an earlier version-ISBN: 0534387438, was left while I was an undergraduate student of West Virginia University's Civil Engineering program. I am not familiar with this Revised Edition and therefore cannot comment on it. Thank you Dr. Martinelli for pointing out this error.

Very comprehensive and well written

As the transportation professor at West Virginia University, I take issue with the review from Braxton Lewis (one of my former students). This book does not have errors and we have been using it at West Virginia University for 12 years and will continue to do so. The book covers all the major concepts needed to prepare students for advanced courses in transportation. Each chapter is well-written and gives just the right level of detail and technical content. One very nice feature is that the book includes the charts, tables, etc from the desigh guides where appropriate. This way, the concepts are presented cleanly without students having to fumble through the various codes and design guides as they try to learn the concepts.
