About Transportation Engineering
Transportation engineering covers highway planning and alignment, traffic studies, road geometric design, pavement materials and flexible or rigid pavement construction. It also includes railway, airport and traffic engineering concepts such as sight distance, superelevation, signals, capacity and level of service, distinguishing pavement failure from poor geometric design.
