This textbook examines key railway engineering topics useful for railway design and control. Conventional railways are considered together with high-speed railways, tramways, metros, maglev and hyperloop systems, people movers, monorails and rack railways. Every system of transport is described in its basic technical characteristics, especially in terms of transportation system capacity, alignment design criteria and construction costs. It is an introductory book to specific topics of the railway engineering field, and thus, the mathematical treatment is purposely brief and simplified. The book is an ideal learning resource for students of civil engineering, as well as a valuable reference for practicing engineers involved with railway designs.

Marco Guerrieri is associate professor of Highway and Railway Engineering at DICAM, University of Trento, Italy, and he is qualified to full professorship. He serves as a member of the editorial board of several international scientific journals. He has authored 3 books and more than 110 scientific papers published in national and international scientific journals or conference proceedings. His research interests include microscopic traffic simulation, highway design and control, alternative Intersection design and railway design.
