Explore the Art and Science of Geometric DesignThe Geometric Design of Roads Handbook covers the design of the visible elements of the road-its horizontal and vertical alignments, the cross-section, intersections, and interchanges. Good practice allows the smooth and safe flow of traffic as well as easy maintenance. Geometric design is covered in d

Provides an overall perspective of how various elements contributing to highway design interact to create a basis for the preliminary route selection and design. This book presents projects from the initial provision of a topographic map and specifications through to the investment and user cost estimates of a particular highway.

This book provides concise descriptions of the various solutions of transition curves, which can be used in geometric design of roads and highways. It presents mathematical methods and curvature functions for defining transition curves.
