Economics of Design Standards for Low-volume Rural Roads
he objective of this study is to examine prevailing rural design standards to determine their economic justification. This would evaluate in depth the cost of some of the most significant design practices (for example, roadway and shoulder width and surfacing type). Resulting user benefits, such as operating, accident and time savings would be weighed against the cost of individual features. In addition to the analysis of the user-benefit relationships, the economic and social consequences to local residents, businesses and communities should be studied and a suitable means of including them in the reckoning of warranted levels of improvement should be found.
Highway Engineering
Draws on recent research findings to describe the latest trends and techniques in the field of highway engineering—from organization, economics, location, operation, and safety to legal and environmental factors, geometric design, pavement design, and maintenance. Focuses on the maintenance and upgrading of existing roadways and the coordination of their use with public transit. Introduces Transportation Systems Management and other advanced methods of traffic direction and control. Provides up-to-date information on new construction materials, problems of highways in developing countries, and the highway accident problem.
