The importance of highway transportation to the industrial and technological complex of the United States and other industrialized nations cannot be overstated. Virtually every aspect of modem economies, and the ways of life they support, can be tied directly or indirectly to highway transportation. From the movement of freight and people to the impact on residential, commercial, and industrial locations, highways have had, and continue to have, a profound effect on the world economy and societal development. In the United States, the manner in which highways have come to dominate the transportation system has been studied for decades as a cultural, political, and economic phenomenon. Without a doubt, the demand for unrestricted mobility and unlimited access to resources has played an important role and helped to quickly move highway transportation to its dominant position from the middle of the 20th century onward. The construction of the interstate highway system remains to this day the largest infrastructure project in human history. At the time, it underscored the nation's commitment to the unrestricted mobility of its populace and to the economic opportunities that such a system would provide its industrial and service industries. Today, additional highway expansion and maintenance of existing highway systems continue to represent an enormous investment in public infrastructure an investment with an immeasurable impact on society in terms of mobility, economic opportunities, and environmental implications, including consumption of resources and pollution. There is more demand than ever for highway engineers due to new highway projects throughout the country. This book interested engineers with the information needed to solve the highway-related problems that are most likely to be encountered in the field. It includes road vehicle performance, the geometric alignment of highways, pavement design, traffic analysis, queuing theory, signalized intersections, the assessment of level of service, and traffic forecasting.

Before they begin their university studies, most students have experience with traffic signals, as drivers, pedestrians and bicycle riders. One of the tasks of the introductory course in transportation engineering is to portray the traffic signal control system in a way that connects with these experiences. The challenge is to reveal the system in a simple enough way to allow the student "in the door," but to include enough complexity so that this process of learning about signalized intersections is both challenging and rewarding. We have approached the process of developing this module with the following guidelines: * Focusing on the automobile user and pretimed signal operation allows the student to learn about fundamental principles of a signalized intersection, while laying the foundation for future courses that address other users (pedestrians, bicycle riders, public transit operators) and more advanced traffic control schemes such as actuated control, coordinated signal systems, and adaptive control. * Queuing models are presented as a way of learning about the fundamentals of traffic flow at a signalized intersection. A graphical approach is taken so that students can see how flow profile diagrams, cumulative vehicle diagrams, and queue accumulation polygons are powerful representations of the operation and performance of a signalized intersection. * Only those equations that students can apply with some degree of understanding are presented. For example, the uniform delay equation is developed and used as a means of representing intersection performance. However, the second and third terms of the Highway Capacity Manual delay equation are not included, as students will have no basis for understanding the foundation of these terms. * Learning objectives are clearly stated at the beginning of each section so that the student knows what is to come. At the end of each section, the learning objectives are reiterated along with a set of concepts that students should understand once they complete the work in the section. * Over 70 figures are included in the module. We believe that graphically illustrating basic concepts is an important way for students to learn, particularly for queuing model concepts and the development of the change and clearance timing intervals. * Over 50 computational problems and two field exercises are provided to give students the chance to test their understanding of the material. The sequence in which concepts are presented in this module, and the way in which more complex ideas build on the more fundamental ones, was based on our study of student learning in the introductory course. The development of each concept leads to an element in the culminating activity: the design and evaluation of a signal timing plan in section 9. For example, to complete step 1 of the design process, the student must learn about the sequencing and control of movements, presented in section 3 of this module. But to determine split times, step 6 of the design process, four concepts must be learned including flow (section 2), sequencing and control of movements (section 3), sufficiency of capacity (section 6), and cycle length and splits (section 8). Depending on the pace desired by the instructor, this material can be covered in 9 to 12 class periods.
