"Fundamentals of Transportation Engineering: A Multimodal Systems Approach is intended for the first course in Transportation Engineering. Combining topics that are essential in an introductory course with information that is of interest to those who want to know why certain things in transportation are the way they are, the text places a strong emphasis on the relationship between the phases of a transportation project. The text familiarizes students with the standard terminology and resources involved in transportation engineering, provides realistic scenarios for students to analyze, and offers numerous examples designed to develop problem-solving skills." --Book Jacket.
