Transportation Engineering
India's Transport System has several deficiencies such as inadequate capacity, poor safety record, emission of pollutants and outmoded technology. But as the economy is poised for a big growth in the coming years transportation engineers will have to come up with innovative ideas.
The book addresses these issues and it is hoped that the engineering students studying transportation engineering will have a clear idea of the problems involved and how they transportation engineering will have a clear idea of the problems involved and how they can be overcome in their professional career. This book has been designed keeping in mind the latest syllabi of all major Indian Universities.
