Is highway engineering and transportation engineering, both are same or not
Transportation Engineering deals with all kinds of transportation systems, may it be on land, in the air and in the water.
Land transportation systems include Highways, Tunnels and Railways and hence we have Highway engineering, Tunnel Engineering and Railway Engineering.
Air transportation engineering deals with the design of airport structures and run ways.
Water transportation engineering deals with the design of harbour structures.
Highway Engineering is a branch of transportation engineering which deals with complete study (analysis and design) of pavements. It is very specific to highway design. Geometric and Pavement designs are carried out. In Geometric design we study about stopping sight distance, curvature, banking etc
In Pavement design we study about Flexible and Rigid pavement design.
