Best Textbook on the Subject
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 14 years ago
This textbook is, by far, the best short-form textbook on highway engineering and traffic analysis. There are other long-form books that cover more topics and take more time to cover each topic, but this book is superior for its pedagogical intent: a clear presentation of basic principles and a concise reference book. The authors of the book, especially Mannering and Washburn, are THE top experts in this area, come from the BEST universities in this area, and are also superior educators. This book is the top choice for classroom instruction and is also a must-have desk reference for practicing transportation engineers.

Many cities and counties in the United States and in other countries use this or the international version as a reference text. Professor Mannering is known as one of the most authoritative and knowledgeable individuals in this field. His manual is referenced from American Government web pages and engineering studies. The text of this book is both comprehensive and based upon proven engineering principles.
Good Book!

I had to write a paper for school, and with no engineering knowledge and minimal physics I was able to use this book to grab the concept and write a paper.
excellent undergraduate book

In my own point of view this text book is the best among other text books in this fiels. Very organized, very clear and very useful. Great reference for undergradute studies. Excellent examples. Great job. It is perfect. I am doing my Master and many times I go to this book. I am talking about latest edition 2004.
This is a new book, never been used.
