The Appian Way is one of the earliest
and strategically most important Roman roads
of the ancient republic which connected 350
miles from Rome to Brindisi, in southeast Italy.
It was built by Appius Claudius Caecus 312 BC
ago and was called the Queen of Roads. It was
primarily built for military purposes and
eventually for trading.

to place and the various means by which such

long distances at high speeds in comfort and
safety has been an index of civilization and in
particular of technological progress.

TRANSPORTATION
Engi nee ri ng
- is a sub-discipline of civil engineering which deals with
the application of technology and scientific principles to the
planning, functional design, operation and management of
facilities for any mode of transportation in order to provide
the safe, rapid, comfortable, convenient, economical, and
environmentally compatible movement of people and goods.

 PLANNING
Before making any sort of planning, the Engineer must take an
account of the database of the area or if it is appropriate, the
previous system in place.

 DESIGN
The design aspects of transport engineering includes:

the sizing of transportation facilities (how many lanes or how much

capacity the facility has)
determining the materials and thickness used in pavement designing
the geometry (vertical and horizontal alignment) of the roadway (or
track).

HIGHWA
• Handle the planning, design, construction, and operation of highways, roads,
and other vehicular facilities as well as their related pedestrian realms.
• Estimate the transportation needs of the public and then secure the funding for
the project.

• Analyze locations of high traffic volumes and high

collisions for safety and capacity.
• Use civil engineering principles to improve the
transportation system.
• Utilizes the three design controls which are the drivers, the
vehicles, and the roadways themselves.

Railway engineers also work to build a cleaner and

also known as “Daang Maharlika”, is the
longest highway in the Philippines.
Labelled as N1 in the Route Numbering
System of the Department of Public Works

kilometers from Laoag City, Ilocos Norte to
Zamboanga City and passes by the Patapat
Viaduct in Pagudpud, Ilocos Norte and
other scenic spots.
