Objectives:
In this chapter we will cover the following subjects :
Lecture Recording - Introduction to Transportation Engineering
State three issues and three challenges of the transportation systems within the global context, particularly Climate Change.
State how would these reflect on your country.
Chapter two:
Human, Vehicle and Transportation Environment Characteristics
Introduction:
The chapter introduces the main components of the highway transportation system; the driver (and the pedestrian), the vehicle, and the road. To provide efficient and safe highway transportation, a knowledge of the characteristics and limitations of each of these components is essential. It is also important to recognize the interrelationships that exist among these components in order to determine the effects that they have on each other.

Chapter Five:
Soil Engineering for Highway Design
Introduction:
As Highway Engineers are interested in the basic engineering properties of soils, because soils are used extensively in highway construction, the basic soil properties are of significant importance . They are also of importance when high embankments are to be constructed and when the soil is to be strengthened and used as intermediate support for the highway pavement. Several transportation agencies have developed detailed procedures for investigating soil materials used in highway construction.
This chapter presents a summary of current knowledge of the characteristics and engineering properties of soils that are important to highway engineers, including the origin and formation of soils, soil identification, and soil testing methods. In addition two relevant issues related to soil compaction and strength are discussed.
