Produktbeschreibung

This fully revised fourth edition of Max Lay's well-established reference work is a comprehensive but accessible resource covering all aspects of the technology of roads and road transport. International in scope, it begins with the preliminary construction procedures, from road planning policies and design considerations to the selection of materials and the building of roads and bridges. It then explores road operating environments with different variables involving driver behavior, traffic flow, and lighting and maintenance levels. Finally, it examines cost, economics, transport implications, and the environmental impact of road use.
