Basics of Transportation Engineering An overview of Highway, Railway and Airport Engineering


Free Download Basics of Transportation Engineering: An overview of Highway, Railway and Airport Engineering
English | 2023 | ISBN: 1774073730 | 260 pages | True PDF | 52.07 MB
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.

Disturbing Geomorphology by Transportation Infrastructure Problem, Prospect, and Solution


Free Download Disturbing Geomorphology by Transportation Infrastructure: Problem, Prospect, and Solution by Suvendu Roy
English | PDF (True) | 2023 | 251 Pages | ISBN : 3031378962 | 12.4 MB
This book focuses on a significant branch of anthropogeomorphology, which is not adequately studied: the impact of transportation systems on altering earth surface processes and landforms. This book fills the gap with in-depth study on the interaction between individual modes of transport network (e.g., trail, roads, railways, waterways, airports, and tunnel) and surface hydro-geomorphology with intensive literature review, fieldwork, geo-environmental modelling, mapping, case studies, and examples from different parts of the world. On the one hand, this book also addresses the vulnerability of transport networks from climate change and critical geo-hazards like floods, landslides, etc. with case studies from the high-risk zones of India. Overall, this book promotes peaceful harmony between the transport network and its surrounding landscapes as an essential lesson for policymakers, planners, and stakeholders.

Buggies, Bicycles & Iron Horses Transportation in the 1800s


Free Download Kenneth McIntosh, "Buggies, Bicycles & Iron Horses: Transportation in the 1800s"
English | 2010 | pages: 66 | ISBN: 142221849X, 1422217760 | PDF | 8,7 mb
In today’s world, where we routinely zip down the highway at 70 miles per hour and we can fly coast-to-coast in a matter of hours, it is hard to imagine the revolution in transportation that took place in the 1800s. From a world where most people rarely traveled faster than their legs could carry them or much beyond their home towns, the 1800s witnessed an amazing and rapid development of technology, improvements in infrastructure, and a national will to conquer the vast distances of a growing country. Through the work of inventors, individual entrepreneurs, and municipalities, Americans found new opportunities for traveling conveniently from place to place within their communities, and a frontier nation was unified by rail, by road, and by a sense of national identity. This is the story of nineteenth-century America on the move!

The Handbook of Fatigue Management in Transportation


Free Download The Handbook of Fatigue Management in Transportation
English | 2023 | ISBN: 9781003213154 | 600 pages | True PDF | 81.7 MB
In the world of transportation, fatigue is a silent killer that can affect us all. Understanding fatigue, including how to manage it to minimize safety risk, is of great importance. However, while it is one thing to recognize that fatigue is a critical safety issue, it is quite another to set up a successful, scientifically informed fatigue risk management programme. This book is here to help. It has been carefully designed as a comprehensive reference point, bringing together international expertise from leaders in fatigue science, and showcasing valuable insights from transportation industry practitioners.
