Transport Engineering Overview

Transport engineering is a field of engineering that specializes in the planning, design, construction, and maintenance of transportation infrastructure that efficiently move people and goods safely from one place to another. These transportation systems include roads, rail, airports and coastal ports.

WCE’s Transport engineers use their technical knowledge as well as their understanding of the social, economic and environmental factors that influence transportation to design transportation systems that are safe, reliable, and cost-effective.

Transport engineering also encompasses the design and construction of transportation infrastructure such as bridges, tunnels and highways. This involves the use of advanced technologies and materials to ensure that these structures are safe, durable, cost-effective and sustainable.

As an essential component of infrastructure development, transport engineering plays a vital role in connecting communities, facilitating economic growth, and improving the overall quality of life.

Another important aspect of transport engineering is traffic engineering, which focuses on the movement of people and vehicles on roadways. This involves the design and implementation of traffic control devices such as traffic signals, signs, and road markings to improve safety and traffic flow.
