Summary

Based on a real world roadway design project, ROADWAY DESIGN WITH INROADS V8I provides information on not only the use of InRoads, but also AASHTO and State roadway design guidelines. Readers are able to take a design from inception to design modification, and to the development of a contract plan set. This comprehensive text provides information, references, guidelines, step-by-step instructions, and exercises for individuals of varying skill levels, and is designed for individual study, for the university environment including the senior transportation capstone course, and for in-house training for roadway and design agencies.

Author Biography

Brian L. Bowman is a Professor Emeritus of Civil Engineering at Auburn University where he has been on the faculty since 1989. Prior to joining Auburn University, he was employed with a consulting company in Southfield, Michigan. Dr. Bowman has been the Principal Investigator on numerous studies for the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), National Highway Institute (NHI), Federal Railroad Administration (FRA), state and local governments, and studies for private developers. He is a registered engineer in the states of Michigan and Alabama. While at Auburn, Dr. Bowman has developed and taught courses in Transportation Engineering, Traffic Signal Design, Traffic Flow Theory, Statistics, Highway Safety, Introduction to Civil Engineering, Statics, Transportation CAD Using InRoads, and others. Theresa Barksdale is the Quality Control Engineer for the Design Bureau of the Albama Department of Transportation (ALDOT). Prior to becoming the Quality Control Engineer, she worked for over 18 years at ALDOT designing road construction plans and managing a design section. Ms. Barksdale is also a registered engineer with the state of Albama.
