Transportation Engineering: Eduardo S. Torrico, JR

Transportation engineering involves the planning, design, construction and operation of facilities for any mode of transportation to provide for the safe, rapid, comfortable and economical movement of people and goods. It includes tasks like road geometric design, structural design, and addressing issues like traffic safety, congestion and accidents through measures like improved engineering, enforcement of traffic rules, and public education. The overall goal is to reduce the interface between drivers, vehicles, roads and the environment to minimize risks and maximize transportation system efficiency.
